Help Us Keep Make More Honest Travel Videos:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.
Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here
Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

The only Finnish word which most Americans know is sauna, and most of them don’t even pronounce it correctly. I used to correct people on that, but have long since given up.
Gifts? When visiting? What?!
@제니Jenni onneksi olkoon olet todellinen Karen. Onneksi tuollaiset on vähemmistöä.
Yeah some finns dont even like sauna such as my friend but i go every other day
believe me, if you compare a Swede to a Finn … it’s the Swede who gets really pissed off
I wouldn’t compare Finland and Sweden just as I wouldn’t compare Japan and Korea. Except for North Korea. North Korea sucks.
@Rockys Traffic videos World economic Forum conference Sveitsissä valitsi Suomen parhaimmaksi maaksi 2019. Miksi? Voit googlata sen. Lista on pitkä. Sitten World happines index report ja UN rankkasi Suomen onnellisemmaksi maaksi 2018, 2019, 2020 ja 2021 suurin piirtein samoista syistä.
@Joona Paananen Melko monessa asiassa muttei läheskään kaikessa.
Ruotsi on mielestäni maailman paras maa ja Suomi toiseksi paras. Jag tycker att Sverige är världens bästa land och Finland är näst bäst.
Big true!
“foreigners” yeah okay lol
@Vitut Bankka juuuuuuu kyl kyl iha varmana ollu 10 juuu mmmmmm kylllll vitu lumihiutale kakara

@medowucha irish drunks are agressive
As a Finnish person. This is false.
Trueeeee
@Sweet chocolates We are getting old 😉
Finns do not drink so much anymore. In 5 years alcohol consumption has dropped drasticly down.
Watch The video” Country alcohol consumption comparison.”
Finland is down to average.
The heaviest drinkers are : The 1st place Moldova, the 2 nd Lithuania the 3rd Chechia and The 4th Germany.
France, Belarus, Estonia, Russia, Luxemburg, Belgium, UK, Ireland, Hungary, Latvia, Switzerland, Austria, Poland etc are ahead of Finland.
it’s sad how many people still do litter
ah yes the *fly mushroom*
Tuo muistoja lapsuudesta🤣
Yes 🙌 SÄ ET HALUU KUOLLA
@Kalle Kulmala ok idgaf im still gonna do it. maybe i dont like the colour yellow so im gonna stop everyone from wearing it? its not a big deal again ok boomer
@electro power also punching people is called assault not being rude dumbass
@electro power Its not small. It is very annoying to other people. No one wants to hear you scroll trough tiktok at full volume
@Kalle Kulmala you care to much about small things to me being disrespectful is punching people not being slightly louder like who actually cares
@electro power If you think having basic respect for other people is being a boomer I’ll gladly be one.
I always do that but I try not to but people are everywhere 😱
@zx Lee Yeah those people suck, my school has a serious case of speaker kids and it’s so annoying.
@Isadora Moon joo en laske pikku kyliä näihin stereotypioihin 😄 mummot myös rikkoo näitä sääntöjä stadissakin
Valitettavasti pikku kylissä ja kaupungeissa täällä ihmiset saattaa tuijottaa tosi röyhkeästikin päälle…. Ite asun Kauhajoella jossa ihmiset tuijottaa jopa autojen sisälle jos ajaa ohitte, harvat ei tee sitä. Jotku ei käännä katsetta vaikka kuinka yrittääs viestiä että “lopeta toi moljotus jo helvetti” vaan jatkaa entistä innokkaampana sitä päälle moljotusta 🤷♀️ isoimmissa kaupungeissa on siinä mielessä paljon kivempi olla kun kukaan ei sielä tuijota sua niinku olisit joku maailman kahdeksas ihme…
About tipping in Finland, yes you don’t HAVE TO tip, but it’s not prohibited either. If you tip, you most likely get a nice smile in return.
@Harri Tolkkinen Täysin samaa mieltä. En tiedä pystyisikö tota paremmin sanoittaa.
Me too
@Tsar watch The video Suicide rates in The world/Country suicide comparison rates”
The highest suicide countries are: The 1st Lithuania, the 2 nd Russia and the 3 South Korea
@Heikai and you are right
Same Japan that has the highest rate of suicide in the world????
you are kinda right though, they are killing themselves before capitalism kills them
En oo viel saanu Juhlamokkaa keneltäkää, mut ootan sitä päivää innolla xd
It usefull thing. You are not Finn if you not drink 1L per day
I was just about to say this. Is it that difficult to take others into consideration, how do they expect the passing by to happen if they don’t give way😂 People must bump into each other A LOT where ever they come from.
Except that the rest of the country doesn’t care about Helsinki.
@Mikael Lappihan on ihan Rauman vieressä.
From being from northern Sweden, relatives from the south constantly intterupt me litterary drives me mad some time! Normaly i try to be polite, but my mother say i hawe a wery short temper when that happen… ha ha
Activly participating in the conversation by polite responding in order to confirm that one are listening is not concidered as being rude in the Nord either (it just does not come naturaly for many people in the northern parts to do so our self) it is, just actualy interupting people when they try to speak and newer give the person a chanse to finish what they just intended to say (like my mother… ha ha) is rude.
Not everyone.
Don’t rush in line
@Tech Ner and I thought it was made of MaGiC😥😥😂😂🙃🙃
uhm yes, it seems the floor here is made from floor
There’s also this kind of unspoken rule that you should stand on the right side on an escalator, especially in the capital city area. That way you can let other people pass you if they’re in a hurry.
@ELT2104 I mean Florida is Florida
