Finnish Way of Hiking
scricfinia.wordpress.comA blog in English about hiking in Finland. / Englanninkielinen blogi retkeilystä ja vaeltamisesta Suomessa. Ajatuksena kertoa kauniin maamme upeista retkeilymahdollisuuksista ja toisaalta omanlaisesta vaelluskulttuuristamme ulkomaalaisille, houkutella heitä Suomeen luontomatkalle. Ja hauskaa olisi, jos blogista olisi iloa myös meille suomalaisille, sekä ikänsä täällä asuneille että vasta tänne muuttaneille ja suomea vielä osaamattomille.Matkailu#hiking #finland #backpacking #wilderness huts #history3Seuraa mua!Sijoitus 180.
