INDIVUE – travel & art

Finland, the famous land of thousand lakes and endless forests, has a lot more to offer than its natural beauty. It’s a collection of vibrant cities, innovative architecture and some gastronomic wonders. My video collection Trip to Finland will take you on a journey across this Nordic country, my home country, from the historic charm of Porvoo to the modern elegance of Espoo’s new metro stations. Along the way, we explore culinary delights in Virolahti, the bustling Helsinki Airport, and even take you on a unique bicycle rickshaw ride in Turku. I have filmed all the videos by myself while traveling and edited afterwards. Check what my video series from Finland uncovers –

– Exploring Porvoo: Beyond the Red Shore Houses

The video collection stops in the coastal Porvoo city, a town steeped in history and culture. The videos feature local restaurants that serve authentic Finnish cuisine, as well as cafes, followed by a tour of the town’s scenic sights. Porvoo is not just about its iconic red shore houses; it is a blend of old and new, where cobblestone paths meet contemporary boutiques.

– A Metro Ride into the Future: Espoo’s New Stations

Espoo is Finland’s second-largest city and a hub of innovation. My video tour gives viewers an insider look at the new metro stations, reflecting the city’s ambition for sustainable urban planning. Clean lines, ample space, and state-of-the-art facilities make commuting more than just a necessity—it becomes an experience.

One journey takes you to Virolahti, a lesser-known destination boasting a variety of local restaurants. The video showcases eatery that range from traditional Finnish establishments to modern summer cafe, giving viewers a well-rounded idea of what Virolahti has to offer.

Helsinki Airport is more than just a gateway to Finland; it’s an experience unto itself. My video shows you how you can easily reach the airport from Helsinki centre.

Strömfors Iron Mill stands as a testament to Finland’s industrial past. INDIVUE video captures the rustic charm of this historical site, showing the preserved machinery, educational exhibits, and the natural beauty that surrounds it.

Turku, one of Finland’s oldest cities, is replete with eateries that boast a rich culinary tradition. Additionally, my video showcases a fun, eco-friendly way to get around the city, reminding me of India – the bicycle rickshaw. It’s not just a ride; it’s an adventure!

Pentala Island offers an escape from city life with its historical museum. The island itself is more than just scenic views; it’s a living museum.

Breaking away from the traditional, I also explore ethnic restaurants in Finland, like a Nepalese restaurant in Helsinki. The video inspires viewers to taste the rich flavors and spices that add a multicultural dimension to Finland’s capital.
