For Inspiration - Suomi Finland

In 25 days I'll be on my way to Finland and I still can't quite believe it! It's been a dream for me for so many years and I still get a bit teary when I think a lot about it. Although it is a such a short trip possibly the main reason I'm going is personal and design research. I'm going to try and see as much as possible and photograph, draw everything I can. I've been rooting some advice as of what to do from native Finns too, so if you have any suggestions on what I must see or if you're in Turku/surrounding areas or Tampere get in contact with me! So far I've planned to see Kurjenrahka national park, Turku archipelago (did you know there is over 20,000 islands!) and in Tampere I want to spend a great amount of time in the cathedral (because of Hugo Simberg) and visit Amuri (for my studies) and the Moomin museum (for the child in me) as well as Näsinneula if it's a clear day.

So it is a while before I go and doubtless as the days go by I'm annoying more and more people by doing nothing but talking about it (especially on Twitter!) but I hope you enjoy the wonderful images, they're keeping my inspiration sky high.
