Among the top things to do in a lifetime, I highly recommend traveling to Finland (for the non-Finnish, of course!).
On top of being a food vlog, this is also some sort of travel vlog.
I spend my life travelling for business. I travel to some of the best destinations in the world and I take the opportunity to live food adventurers.
As part of my work, I study the ways in which human cultures affect human perception, human behaviour, human beliefs and human actions and reactions.
I advocate a lifestyle driven by an open mind, wherein cultural barriers are broken and people can communicate from human to human.
What better way to show an open mind than to try exotic dishes from around the world - food is one of the final frontiers of the human cultural staples.
Some of those places may also be considered as some of the best holiday destinations in the world - but I am a professional nomad (almost a digital nomad) first before I am a food blogger or a travel blogger.
In a way, these are my travel tips or this is my travel guide.
Therefore, if you like traveling, make sure that you visit Finland.
And by the way, you may someday bump into me, on the streets of a busy city, in a restaurant eating weird stuff or working on the beach of some amazing holiday resort. Come and say hi 😊
3:10 LOL he was drunk af :D
Im from Finland :D
😉
Semmosii tääl Raumal on
Yep, drunk af. Also that 30 cents was surely a joke.
@@UncleHam1337 kalja rahaa vailla
30 cents well spent
Haha this one was fun to watch. I'm glad you got see the Finland outside of Helsinki, that's where the real Finland is.
I am glad I saw a variety of places. Thanks for watching :)
Aleksii
and awesome vlog thank u for that =)
@@karstanaattori3370 thank you 😊
And that’s where the civilzation ends :D
Finland is a wonderful country. I lived there for a number of years. The people are lovely and kind.
If everything goes well, I'm gonna visit Finland this year (like I planned last year)! I'm also learning Finnish for real, so I hope I can catch some puhekieli and find somebody who can answer a lot of my questions about the grammar etc. Suomi on niin mahtava maa. Terveisiä Tšekeistä! :)
Let us know how it goes when you are there 😊
Dont be afraid to ask help from us finns. We are really friendly when someone is learning our language.
I must admit I hesitated to intrude...
Like Otto said, just ask help am sure almost every finn is happy to help you to learn our languages. :)
@@takoja507 I will be less shy, next time 😊
Great that you enjoyed of finland. Greetings from finland 😊
Hello 😊 visiting Finland was a great pleasure 😊 thanks for watching 😊
You so should visit here in winter, currently there is about 50 cm of snow just 40 kilometers north of Helsinki. A couple days ago it was -27 degrees Celsius, but currently it's just -10
:O woah, that would be cool, both literally and figuratively! :D If I ever come in winter, I will simply wear my entire wardrobe on me at all times :D Fingers crossed - some day, I hope ;)
@@lisadventures2974 If you visit Finland in winter its a must to go to lappland. last week there was almost -40°C and the landscapes are incredible. Also you can see northern lights there
You know what: I lived in Scotland for 3 years and I never got the chance to see Northern lights there. I would love to grab the opportunity in Finland :)
I am not sure about the -40°C, though :D
@@lisadventures2974 I was in a sauna 5 minutes ago. I went outside, completely naked, and jumped and rolled in the snow. That's something one should try when visiting Finland in the winter.
There is no russian influence in Vaasa. It wash established by swedish king.
Oops 😶☺
@@lisadventures2974 just look at the map dude :-) vaasa is on the west coast, russia is in the east... the only russian influence that can be still seen today are the few orthodox churches.(you accidentially strafed one of those when you filmed in helsinki, but it has not caught your attantion obviously) And elements of suomenlinna perhaps. (which you aparrantly did not visit when you were in helsinki)
Vaasa is a beautiful town. I met my husband there 33 years ago. He was a student at the business university and I taught english with the swedish school board. Love Finland! Still married and now living in Canada.
@@klynnmartin1544 wait I'm confused. Swedish school??
Great love story :) thank you for watching and for sharing your story :)
I love that old man on the bicycle. He made my day!! :)
I enjoyed that encounter very much 😊 share!
That last buildong was our congress house where all our politicians are making their "wise" desicions.. ;) Nice and fun to watch. Hope you come another time and visit also Lapland (northern Finland) and easter Finland. There is totally different places and food etc. Northern lights in winter time are awesome and in fall we have "ruska" that is awesome.
Wow. Sounds amazing :)
You should visit Lapland too. Its really beautiful, especially in winter, autumn and summer.
In Finland its typical that the police, firemen ect have booths in different events. People can get to know their jobs and ask questions. Also they arrange some activities for children like the bouncy castle at 7:38.
Great :)
Waait you have under 700 subs. I watched til 7 minutes and was bout to like and sub and then i realised that u have jnder 1k. I was sure to see well over 100k
Well, help me get more by sharing my video :) Thanks for your kind comment :)
Finland is fabulous. This video deserve more likes. Your channel is amazing. 😊 love the background at the hotel. Let’s support one another
Hello, JC :) Thanks :) Let's support each other indeed! I have subscribed to your channel (& I hit the bell!) and I have watched a few videos already. I looks as if we have similar styles :) But yours looks a lot more professional (& cooler) than mine :D Let's talk :)............. Li
*In Helsinki* _"I think this is the most northern part of the world where I've been so far"_
Dude! You just came back from Vaasa!
😂 I was talking about Finland in general 😂 but well spotted 😂
Well the bouncy castle slide says something like 'join the fire brigade' so my guess would be that the police, firefighters and the army were having some kind of a job advertisement. The place near the train station is one of the most popular places to hold events. I've been there for food, beer and book events.
Nice to hear from someone who's actually watched the video 😊 thanks for this information : that's exactly what I wanted to know 😊
Was the 30 cents that you spent on the street musician worth it?
It was worth every cent 😆 don't you think? Thank you for watching 😊
He was just drunk. You can hear it from how he spoke finnish.
@@miikuli 😆 no comments from me 😆
M L it was funny though😂
@@xatte9038 true
such nicely put together video
Thank you :)
By the adverts I would guess the event around 8:10 in the video is for getting young people interested in becoming firefighters and such.
And the place is called the Eliel square right next to the railway station.
😊 Yes, somebody mentioned that it may have been a recruitment fair for police, fire brigade and army. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching 😊
Well done, sir. Hope someday somebody actually drives through Finland and makes vlog from that experience ( donno if thats done already).
Thank you 😊 I would love to make such a trip someday, all the way to the North 😊 Thanks for watching 😊
Traveling Robert has great videos about driving through Finland and into Sweden and Norway, they are well worth a watch.
wow amazing hope to visit Finland soon.
Oh so beautiful adventure, I wish I will have the opportunity to travel to finnland, probably to study and have experience.
Awesome video! Underrated.
Thank you :)
That dude playing the harmonica is absolutly smashed out of his mind hahaha :D and the funniest part is that he hasnt drank yet, thats yesterdays buzz still going :D :D
I have stayed in that hotel room in Vaasa! Lovely jacuzzi but a fuse popped after one hour or so.
Nice room, isn't it? 😊 jacuzzi in the dark - must be creepy 😆
In finland there are some events that hapen in summer and some of them are guite intresthin
indeed :)
random 32: Your english writing skills are "guite intresthin", too... 😉😀
Too bad you didn’t go to Suomenlinna in Helsinki.
That's the problem when you travel for work 😊 limited time. Next time, I hope! 😊
Taco Nito is awesome! :3
When I think of those tacos, my mouth starts watering again :D
Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western Finland definitely have their own atmosphere and "culture" to experience. It feels very different when you visit the national landscapes in North Karelia, compared to the warm southern "sea atmosphere" in Kotka, or the Lapland landscapes beyond the Arctic Circle. I live in the east and still need to experience the western coast :)
There is so much to discover in Finland :)
I was visiting Savonlinna last week. Eastern Finland is so beautiful and so Finnish. One Day I want to live there
I’m from Finland 🇫🇮
Thank you for watching 😊
Vaasa? I don't live far from Vaasa, it feels like you just drove by my place :D
And you should def. go to Kuusamo
I have looked at Kuusamo on the map. I will try and go on my next trip to Finland :)
I hope you can make it to test out some restaurants in Tampere too, some day. There are some very fine restaurants there too, but for some reason the Michelin critics haven't even visited the city. I suppose they think good cuisine can only happen in coastal cities...
If I get the chance, I will stop by. It sounds like Tampere is a place to absolutely visit! Thanks for watching :)
I am from Finland torilla järjestetään tapahtumia sen takia siellä on paljon ihmisiä/the market hosts events because there are a lot on people there
Good to know😊
Your voice is soooo calm and nice
Thank you 😊
nice vid just a quick tip, i would recommend going to the more northern parts of finland also the culture is very different between lapland and the southern parts. And no the northern parts are not that cold if you just time it right never go to lapland when it's january-february unless you want to freeze to death as even right now where im from it's -25c and i live on the edge of the lapland region.
Hi 😊 thanks for the tip 😊 that's the problem when you travel for work: what you visit is more opportunistic than planned. But I dream to visit the North some day - with the right timing, of course! 😊 thanks for watching 😊
Keep warm up there!
Also, I would say that Lappeenranta as a town in southeast Finland is worth a visit during summer because of during November-March there isn't much to do besides shopping in Iso Kristiina shopping center also a lot of events are around June-August such as Juhannus Festival, Lappeefest, and few others and of course sand castle that will change every year a little bit.
Thanks for the tips :) I travel for work, therefore I cannot always visit the best places, but if I can take a few days off while I am around to visit, I will give it my best shot :)
Food Adventures
.... exactly where was this food andventure?
The one with the Tacos? Taco Nito restaurant. The address is in the video :) thanks for watching :)
Helsinki was built after separation from Sweden when the Russians conquered us, which began a rise of Finnish nationalism. It had been brewing for a couple hundred years under the power of Sweden as well, but after 1809 it really kicked off. The movement was driven by university academics, and the only university in Finland being in Helsinki at the time (relocated from Turku in 1827), which explains why architecture in Helsinki specifically has a lot of nationalistic influence. Relating to our national epics as well as other kind of... mysticism.
Wow, thanks for this insight 😊
You said something about signs of the Russian period when you arrived in Vaasa. What did you mean? Most people only notice the strong Swedish influence in that city.
This impression of authoritative strength, I guess... It appeared to seep though parts of the architecture, some sort of ambient austerity and some artwork. But after all, these are my personal impressions, from my own experience of Russia. What do YOU think? 😊
I would have thought that you might have seen the old barracks area in the city, which was used by the Russian military up until January 1918, when the civil war of Finland started (Finland declared independence on December 6th, 1917). These buildings do reflect Russian architecture to some extent. I haven't thought that much about how other buildings in the city might reflect the period, but you might have seen something that I haven't thought of. The old city of Vaasa burned to the ground in 1852, and the new city was rebuilt in a new location closer to the water (the coastline moves quite a lot in the area over the centuries due to post-glacial rebound), and Finland had been part of the Russian empire for almost 50 years by then. Though, the city architect who was central in rebuilding the city was Carl Axel Setterberg, a Swede who was into Empire style building (which was common in Russia, but also places like Napoleonic France ).
Finland's Houses and buildings are similar with all the Nordic countries.
Awesome video bro, keep it up
Thank you :) and thank you for watching :)
Tampere is really the best city of Finland. Nice video.
lol i agree
Thank you :)
At 7:25 you can see a building called ”world trade center” so when 9/11 happened my dad who was visiting thailand at the time heard about the planes flying into world trade center he actually thought planes had crashed into that exact building.
Very nice video really thank you but what is the name of your hotel in Helsinki?
It was the Radisson Blue hotel. Thank you for watching 😊
Li's Food Adventures Oooooo Oooooo Oooooo and Oooooo Radisson blue congratulations
Nice snapshot of Finland, but I was expecting more food in Li's Food Adventures
😆 Fair comment 😆 sometimes, the temptation to cover other things than food gets too strong 😆 I have proper food adventure videos in Finland - watch my other videos im Finland 😊
Vaasa is about as far from Russia as it is possible to get in mainland Finland... One weird thing in Finland is that almost everyone has musical talent, apart from me. There is most metal bands per capita in the world in Finland, Sweden coming distant second. As I live some distance north of Helsinki, there´s a half joke that Helsinki is the asshole of Finland, and having a look at a map of Finland confirms just that. That´s about all.
Turku*
Yeah but it was also known as Nikolaistad at one point of history. So back them it was very pro russian town.
All Finland is far from Russia. Geographically it is close, but otherwise very different. Even russians themselves are telling this fact. Finland is a Nordic country.
@@cinderellaandstepsisters Oi, that´s true, Nordic, but not part of Scandinavia. As they said: "We are not swedish, we are not gonna be russians, so let´s be Finnish".
Beautiful video!! How did you choose what cities to visit?
Hi :) I didn't choose :D I travel for work, therefore I go where my work takes me :) Thank you for watching :)
Work on the music editing. Very annoying that the music goes from zero to a hundred back and forth. Keep up the good work!
Im from finland
This channel is great, You should visit sweden next time :)
Thank you :) I was briefly in Sweden last year, and I can't wait to go back. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/R_Y1ULc5siw/w-d-xo.html
i guess that event at rautatientori was this www.poliisi.fi/en/helsinki/policeday i'm finn from helsinki but not living in finland atm so i just had to google for it (which is i guess easier if you know finnish) could be something else as i timed it at the end of august because of the hazing stuff, but as you mention helsinki day later, those can't be the same day as helsinki day is june 12th
Great! That was it! Thanks :)
Fun video! You should interview more finns next time, it always gets exciting. However, I just wondered about the Mexican restaurant you ate at Turku, what was the name of the restaurant?
I did not want to intrude: the reputation of Finnish people outside of Finland is that they are very private. I was afraid to intrude. I will try next time :) The restaurant's name is Taco Nito. Thanks for watching :)
@@lisadventures2974 , yeah, we are quite private, but often very kind and helpful people, also. 😉🤗 So if someone asks for help, Finnish people tend to - and will love to - help (usually). 😀👍❤
@@KristinaWes Well noted 😊 I will TRY and be less shy next time 😊
Great video, thank you
Thanks to you for watching :)
A sympathetic person
If you are talking about me, thank you :) and thanks for watching :)
Fine video, however it was a bit harmful that you visited only cities. Finland is more known about beautiful nature, lakes, silence and so on, so perhaps next time drive east-side of finland from e.g. Hamina to Utsjoki, perhaps "runon ja rajan tie" --> Poems and board road.
Thank you for watching :) I travel for work (and not for tourism), therefore the places I visit depend on my work commitments. But thanks for the suggestions - they go straight to my wish list :)
You should visit lapland!
Public servants are just making sure that everything is ok :)
Hapankaalipirjo 😊
@@lisadventures2974 no, public servant was part of the show, they were part of the "attraction"
@@aaro3455 that is definitely the feeling I had. It was an orchestra composed of policemen
Please I will like to visit Finland
The think with police And fireman And army is just like a celebration thing i Dont really know beacuse i live in Rovaniemi but i Was born in Helsinki
I enjoyed every second of this video! As a TH-camr living in Finland, I love to see how other foreigners react to life in Finland for the first day.
You had your own sauna! Great! Are you still in Finland?
Hi! It is always fun to see things from a different perspective :) I was in FInland in August 2018. But I may come back in 2019 for other work commitments:) I will subscribe to your channel - I hope it is in English. Thanks for watching :)
Subscribed to your channel :)
Why you weren't in Suomenlinna?
What is Suomenlinna?
I was passing through for business and I did not have much time to visit around 😊
@@lisadventures2974 It is an island in helsinki. Beatiful and yea! You must visit there sometimes!!
@@lisadventures2974 okay!
@@jenna9409 thanks for the tip 😊
Torilla tavataan perkele!
Those persons with white clothes are from high schools and they are celebrating their last year and graduating from high school...
Some finnish beer in the basket called Koff 3.10 😂
if you go to Finland do not go to Helsinki. It's not like Finland actually is.
8:00 it’s probably a small event or something. I know I’m from finland and I usually go to “markkinat” pretty often ( people sell fruits, food, candy, clothing and all sorts of stuff there) sometimes it’s kinda cheap. That’s why a lot of people go there.
PERKELE
Mitä järkeä on näissä kirosanakommenteissa? 🤔😣😐
3.10 he had beer in the bike basket
i hope we torilla tavataan sometimes
Also from Finland haha Benis :)
Turku.. Suomen persereikä!
It’s so cold here during winter. Right now we have a over a meter of snow too 😭😂😂
:O
hi im from finland-helsinki
Hello :)
hi ?
i love your vids😘
Thank you :) Your support is much appreciated :)
love finland very much my fb from here
Cool :)
Well im from Finland and that Greek god tradition is really strange... We used to flush our juniors heads in toilet ;)
It's not a Greek god tradition it is Finnish God tradition which are surprisingly similar to Greek gods. Ukko, akka, Ahti, Aarne, perkele
Holy Roman Empire PERKKELE
torille
when were you in finland
Hi 😊 August 2018.
Would you have information about the events in the video?
Thanks in advance for any tips 😊
@@lisadventures2974 army tour stuff was finland 100 celebrations or at least there was same type of thing going on in Pori right before Pori Jazz started in july
Thank you :)
Actually its police day with firedepartment also being present
@@nikok491 Hi 😊 thanks for your comment 😊 Is that an annual event? The band / orchestra was actually composed of policemen.
3:10 Lmao wtf is this :D He was drunk af😂😂😂
Hyvää musaa oli kumminkin
2:40 yeah thats a drunk, not a musician.
You should have come to Oulu. Actually don't. There's nothing to see and it's cold.
Vaasa mainittu torilla tavataan perkele
Really.. those big flashing SUBSCRIBE LIKE SHARE BELL buttons distract from the content and give a veery cheap and tasteless feeling. Having them like at the end of the video would be ok but every minute... NOPE!
you go to Finland to eat mexican food. OK
I'm pretty sure he ate much of other finnish foods as he propably stayed there for a week?
But Taco Nito (the restaurant) IS really good.
@@Zone6Entertainment the reason for that is most likely that, our dumb leftist leaders has made any Finnish form of things banned. Speaking about history of Finland in public is like taboo. There are no Finnish restaurants anywhere etc
I did eat Finnish a lot. You can't judge on a snapshot of someone's edited life :) Watch my other videos in Finland :)
Delicious :)
grew up in finland and never ever have I heard about that high school tradition. maybe its only in that school and seems quite weird like slavery what they r doing
Lolo That Is actually pretty common.
Asuit varmaan jossain korvessa tai
You learn everyday :) thanks for watching :)
The juniors' welcoming traditions are different in various parts and cities of Finland. 😉
@@KristinaWes I want to see them all 😊
Tykkää jos ymmärrät
Fire department invide to joying to along. Kind of access to work. possibly. And Police
Torillle
Torilla tavataan
Tykkää jos oot suomesta
Actually that hilarious drunk finnish jazz-playing man is my dad.
I understand everyone laughs at those people but I can tell you a fun fact he’s a decent and the most loving father.
He adores music - as you can see - and he actually had couple of bands with his friends in Rauma and people in town loved them back in the days.
You know what they say about artistic minds? They like to have some wine. Ha ha.
But the truth is better than he’s just a drunk man to laugh at.
He had a job: every day people in Rauma are walking on streets he was making and watching trees he planted for example He had a family, me included, but bad things happened to him. I can tell more if someone is interested (like the bullies could learn more). Life just punched him straight in to the face and he chose to drink that pain away.
Still the most loving person in the world and I won’t take any rude comments about him 🥰
Here was some extra details for this vid at he same time I guess 😇 And please y’all keep treating people good, you don’t know their story behind. I know someone is probably laughing at me too now because this whining but this hurt me a bit so 🤷🏼♀️
Well, I thoroughly enjoyed the music he played for me 😊 thanks to him, again 😊
@@lisadventures2974 nice
Thank you :)
Dont believe he is your dad but nice comment.
@@lisadventures2974 you should of met me in rauma i would oh told u alot more
Greetings from Finland! I watched less than a minute when I clicked the like button. That drunk street musician in Rauma was hilarious. 30 cents well spent :D
:D I am glad you enjoyed it! :D
Ei kyllä vedä vertoja Maailman Matille. Rip
@@lisadventures2974 did u ever pay him? XD
@@hitlersnazithanos4kvideoss465 yes, I did. And I enjoyed the music thoroughly!
that police, army and ambulance layout in the marketplace is just a showing of the equipment, some training and games and such. its like a carney of professionals. its called SLEEP SAFE! they ended it with a band at the marketplace that you happened to see
It was so interesting to witness 😊😊 thank you for your comment and for watching 😊
thank you for your respond ! my father living in Finland for 15 years now and i would love to join him too. I have 5 brothers and 1 sister there
If you enjoyed the southern part of Finland, you should really travel to Finland´s Lapland. There´s some real good food up there.
So I heard :)
How do you only have 300 subs? The quality of your videos is at least same as many 10k sub channels, awesome video though and im glad that you enjoyed my home country! ;)
no00ob you are dumb, you Finland need to travel more to see the world
Thank you :) I am glad you think my channel is that good :D It was my pleasure to visit. Thank you for your kind comment :)
Black american man listens to white finnish dude play blues on street...!! Talking about globalism! LOL!!

@@lisadventures2974 if you ever visit again, I suggest Lapland in January-February. Very good views
Nice vid, did U try out the sauna? I had visitors from the USA and we went to the sauna,...me & family had a laugh when our visitors couldnt get naked with iother people around so they wore swimsuits in the sauna 😂😂😂
U know the finnish population is 5,3 miljon...
The number of saunas is 3,4 miljon
BR. Juke from Finland
I did try the sauna, and I was glad it was private :D I also would be embarrassed to get naked in front of strangers :D
Thanks for watching :)
@@Jako1987 it may be technically possible, but i have never seen a finn doing that ...and i know saunas here in finnland
where bathing suits are explicitly forbidden - with a sign on the door even
(them beeing made of plastic fibers may have to do with that)
I will try and muster the courage, some other time :D
It is funny how your culture determines what you are comfortable with, and what you are not :D naked sauna is outside of my own comfort zone :D
I was in Helsinki when you uploaded this! Rakastan suomea
We could have had a drink :)
Thanks for sharing this video.
At the square that was demonstration about the work of the fire department, ambulance workers and the army so that more people would be interested in applying for these professions.
That makes sense indeed 😊 it did seem like a promotion of these professions 😊 thanks for the explanation and thanks for watching 😊
meanwhile in america people bash the police, in Finland there are 2-4 shooting incidents with the police in a year and most of them arent fatal, thats very low
It's really surprising to see my hometown (Rauma) in this random video i clicked. And i see that drunk guy daily, he also plays guitar drunk and is pretty good at it.
I would love to see him play for a longer period :)
Vaasa mainittu!
Torille!
that high school thing is called nasutus (nasut) in finnnish
I feel bad that you missed lapland. But you had you're limited time in finland.
Indeed. I was in Finland for work - and my work is not making TH-cam videos. Some other time, I hope :)
Haha. Nonsense but the Rauma blues guy was a treat.
