We got our churches very mixed up. The church in the video is a Lutheran church. The Orthodox one is red.
In Finland, 68.7% are Lutheran and only 1.1% are Orthodox, so it is reasonable to assume that you will find mostly Lutheran churches in a large part of the country.
The polar plunge really is about the heat afterwards. It is especially good for those with chronic pains since it pumps the body's own painkillers and lower inflammation. The actual studied health benefits of Sauna is about "heat shock proteins". Cells start to produce those when you are subjected to very high heat, not enough to burn but enough to trigger this mechanism. Heat shock proteins are good for ex at straightening proteins that have curled on themselves, which is usually what happens when you get heat damage: proteins start to cook and curl. Protein that is like a ball of string does not do its job. So, those heat shock proteins repair cell damage, and the cells are better prepared for further heat shock, starting to produce heat shock proteins more easily. They do also repair other damage, which is where the health benefits come.
It is the only research and peer reviewed health effect. There can be more but we don't yet really know. It lowers stress and inflammation but those are so temporary that it is difficult to say how much it helps.. but, few hours of having less stress and inflammation isn't bad for us..
All the five Nordic countries are mostly Lutheran Protestant. Both the Orthodox church and Catholic church are tiny in Finland.
Oh well not to worry 😁
It’s the church from Darude’s Sandstorm film clip
You said you'd like to revisit when the days are longer. I strongly recommend the north in the summer when the day literally does not end at all.
Indeed. And go all the way to north, where the trees end. Kilpisjärvi is amazing. Easy to go cross to norway's fjords from there too.
Be prepared for the mosquitoes though.
@@wanhapatuI was going to come and mention the mozzies and midges that are rampant in the north in the summer.
@@laulutar Not necessarily. It very much depends on how wet the spring and early summer have been. I've been to family reunions in the north (I'm from there, on the Swedish side though, but not far from the border with Finland), playing football in broad daylight at 2am, and not a flying insect in sight.
Oh yes, as a Finn, the summer is definitely my favorite time and Finland during summer is the best place to be!
It's the Helsinki Cathedral. The architecture style around the Senate square is called empire. It's European, post Napoleonic era neoclassical architecture style.
Yep, Aussies are still watching your travels! We’re a very loyal lot! Also looking forward to your return some time! Much love from Down Under. 🇦🇺🥰🥰. It’s summer here but you’re making me feel cold! LOL!
Yes, we are
We are. Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Yup.. another Aussie here. Love your videos
It's a gift for me. Born in Finland and moved to Aus when 12. Now middle aged. Worlds colliding.
❤❤❤
A lot of us Finns are saying you should come back in the summer, and I agree... January can be pretty bleak. I hope you enjoyed it here though! Would love the postcard ;) I'm enjoying watching your travels! 😊
The whole nordic peninsula is more beautiful in the summer.
I actually cried laughing when you went swimming in the sea. Like even Finns usually just do a quick dip unless they're hobbyists and you went for a swim as first timer tourists 😂 Like yeah, that's crazy even by Finnish standards
Not grazy in finnish standards. I am finn and I go naked to lake and swim halfaway of it in freezing weather. 5 kilometers. That is where you need iron balls and finnish SISU! Perkele
Not even crazy. Every morning I swim to work in the freezing water(about 8.6271 km)
Trust me: it was crazy. Some Finns are crazy.
I can’t believe Tia stood in the cold after coming out of the water to film Chevyo taking the plunge! To me, that seems like it would be shivering!
Actually you usually feel warm for couple of minutes after getting out from cold water. It feels very good and I think thats the main reason why people do it
Me too!!
That's the best part. After leaving the water, the air and even the wind feel nice and warm. It's a really euphoric feeling 🙃
lol, they obviously went back into the sauna first
Actually trip to Estonia even as a Finn was a good choice. In winter time all Lapland is going ballistic with prices. Sled rides etc are really expensive. Estonia is nice. It's our brother nation. Good people, good food and nice sight seeing. I like to travel there 2-4 times a year.
That clarity that you speak of, after exiting the sauna, is exactly why we/they do it :)
Of course Aussies are still watching your adventures! Loved the pool plunge guys! Respect! But that was not a pie 😂
Agreed! Pie is a very interesting word for what that was, I think something was lost in translation. It was tasty but not a pie 😅
@@OnePackWanderers it's actually a word for word translation, maybe we Finns are a bit more liberal with the term 🤣
130bpm? Chill hon.
Yeah mate that's not a pie
Yea the Aussies are still watching and it's 111F in Perth today , that cold water looks very appealing to us 😂😂
Watching from Adelaide
Swimming in Allas Sea Pool in Helsinki has been quite popular among travelling TH-camrs lately :)
You MUST come again to Helsinki in summer. It feels like another place when it's warm and it's so green everywhere.
The 'herb' Dill always goes well with fish
Dill is not a 'Spice' guys, it is a 'Herb', just like Parsley and Coriander.
😂😂😂 ya dill!!
Fun fact, the steps Tia ran up to is where they filmed the music video to Darude - Sandstorm
if your gonna come back to finland i really recommend Turku as a most beautiful city in the southern Finland, or lapland.. In lapland the sun never goes down during the summertime. Anyways where ever you go in here, Finland is as its best during summer.
Just to ease your anxiety, Tia. People are not looking at you because you're weird or because of your criminal history (LOL). It's because you are so cute 🙂
I agree.
So cute. That’s why nobody suspects that you’re a hardened criminal until it’s too late.
@@larshohmuth4035 I never knew until now that she was a hardened criminal. I don't think anyone else knows though.
I had no clue about her criminal ways until she stole my heart 😂
Always enjoy your videos. Bringing back memories of these areas when we did a Baltic cruise back in 2019. Though it was summer then 😂
You made that plunge pool look easy… I would have been screaming 😅. Nice to see Cheveyo in an uncomfortable situation for a change & Tia being the encouragement 😆. Your both still amazing 🤍
Yeah I wasn't game to try it, so props to Tia & Cheveyo 👍
nice to see you enjoyed Finland. If you decide to come back one day, definately do it in summer (july). It's so much better than winter. Finnish (or nordic in general) summers are amazing
Nice to see a shout out to the Australian viewers🥧
I agree that the weather at home is not the best in the winter, that is why I am watching from Africa :) Finland is the best country in the world in the summers so I hope you come back, I know I am.
The ferries to Sweden, Estonia, Germany are a big thing in Finland and have many functions, Finland is an island basically. The big ferries carry people, cars, cargo, and many hop on board just for entertainment. The competition between companies is fierce, so you can often find good prices and the ferries are comfortable.
After you finish shower you feel fresh. After you finish sauna and cold water dip you feel reborn. But yeah the feeling for me at least comes after I'm finished
As finnish person I don't feel fresh after shower. I need sauna for fresh feeling.
My man admired the pun
Fanciest ferries makes sense, the biggest most luxurious cruise ships in the world have been made in Finland for some time now and probably atleast some of those ferries you used (not sure)
You're right. Both the Stockholm-Helsinki and Helsinki-Tallinn ferries were built here in Finland. The first one is already 34 years old and the latter was built as recently as 2022.
And when it comes to shipbuilding in Finland the world's largest cruise ship the Icon of the seas was finished late last year and her sister ship is already being built in Turku Finland.
Even the new Biggest one in the world!
Those mega ships don't travel from Helsinki, but the Helsinki port is the busiest passenger port in the world. Which is really surprising given that it's a fairly small country. But it's faster to travel by sea between Stockholm, Helsinki and Tallinn than by land and many do it just as a work commute or for weekend trips. So the ferries are fancy because A. they get a lot of use B. we have lots of shipbuilding experience.
@@jyrkipaavola. The new Tasmania ferries, "Spirit of Tasmania IV and V", are currently being built there too.
I loved the "Tia-cam" tour of the ferry, it was so sweet! The security guard was probably making sure their cutlery was locked away. 😆
😂😂😂
It’s been a while since you posted here or on Insta. Hope you are both well
Got really excited when you mentioned “Australian’s” and the meat pies 🥧
Love watching you guys!
Stay safe 😊
That postcard is awesome
Ice dipping/swimming is best when you just float around usually just for a minute or two and slow your heartrate down by focusing on breathing. It really relaxes your body and mind.
Another Aussie here. Gosh it's cold up there. That ferry looks unreal. My husband and I are travelling in Tasmania now. You should come back and do this. Tassie is on another level of travel. You will love it.
Sauna and swimming in the ocean is such a good feeling. There is a trend in Scandinavia now where most towns have public saunas with sea access (where possible).
And it is so invigorating to sit in the sauna and dip in the cold ocean (repeat as neccessary) and the relaxed feeling one get afterward is soo good.
You guys were lucky to experience really cold water. Where I live, above the arctic circle, the water temps are usually no colder than 6-8C in the winter.
"Baby it's cold outside." Tia has a nice voice...how about a duet?!
You guys are just the best, down to earth and a joy to watch. You dont make out you are better than others and that is really important. Just keep being the cool people you are and you will go far. If you come back to Aussie i would not hesitate to open my door to you both and feed and give you a bed free of charge. Take care and stay safe in your travels. Cheers from Australia ❤😊👍☕🥧
I stumbled upon your channel last year. One of the best things that happened to me in 2023. Honestly you guys are my favourite travelling vlog couple by far. Good job! Thank you.
The anxiety while doing the boat review was so real.
I really hope you end up having a great time in Tallinn. It’s a hidden gem in Europe that everyone really needs to visit. The Old Town is fantastic. Peace from 🏴
Come back mid summer and experience Helsinki super quiet, when everybody is at their cottages :)
Anyways, glad you stopped by and thank you for the video!
3:00 The temperature of the water that you throw on the rocks in sauna really doesn't matter. Some use warm or even hot water to prolong the life of the rocks but other than that, it doesn't make any difference. All the water that hits the stones will boil and cause more steam into the room. And if you actually measure the sauna room temperature before and after throwing the water on rocks (called "löyly") with a highly accurate equipment, you'd find that the room temperature slightly decreases! However, the additional steam in the air will prevent your skin from cooling down normally which causes the air to feel super hot.
I personally like it when sauna is about 70 °C and 70 %RH which is really moist and feels pretty hot.
As a fellow person with anxiety, I truly felt that anxious tour! Loved it, thank you for doing that for us haha
Those with anxieties on ferries, please DON'T google MS Estonia.
I loved watching that from Australia , I've been watching for about a year now and have never been disappointed.
Youre such an amazing cute couple and you really care about each other, safe travels ❤
Yes, still watching from Perth
Another Aussie here! Love your videos so much, you've inspired me to travel more
Always admired Tias tenacity. Shes hesistant as any human would be doing something for the first time, but she does it anyway. Remember 'nam? Yeah that bit will break any lesser but she soldiered on. Props
Thanks for sharing and safe travels from The Land Down Under, keep warm
Definitely still watching and smiling at your videos from Australia. Bit warmer here. Those ferries look wonderful. Loved this series as much as all you videos. Stay safe and warm you crazy kids. 😂
Great video guys. Greeting from Sydney.
Finland and Estonia are some of my favorite places to visit. It seems like you really did them justice! The ferry looks super nice. When I was there a few years ago the ferry we took was a Russian one from the 60’s- quite a difference.
Tia you did so freaking well!!! Seriously can’t imagine the anxiety you were going through but you committed and fulfilled the mission! I hope you are as proud of yourself as we all are. Sending you love xoxoxo ❤❤❤❤❤
Copenhagen is a beautiful city and your postcard represents it well. I would love to find that in my mailbox! Love your travels of Scandinavia too!
Great job with that postcard!
Congrats to both of you on making the polar plunge.Maybe you’re ready to do the polar plunge into Lake Michigan. Not sure about this meat pie. Yum Yum salmon and potato soup. I could eat that every wk. Looks like an outstanding boat. Loved hearing Tia try to sing 1 of the songs from Elf. while waiting for your Uber. Absolutely Loved It
You do realize... we do have a little spring and summer too...and everything looks and feels VERY different. And babies in their carriers out in the cold are not freezing and are not unattended (parents always have a good look - even through the windows from inside a cafeteria... 😊 Greetings from Copenhagen.
As a finn who takes ice baths every week I'm very impressed you managed to stay in for such a long time, most people struggle to even manage 12 degrees celsius
Yes, definitely a beautiful postcard
18:24 BRILLIANT creative scene !
Great offering again guys and thanks for taking the 'plunge' for US ! Looking forward to your video on Tallin, Estonia. I loved its walled medieval old town and the 15th-century defensive tower. The Gothic Town Hall (13th century) and adjacent main square, great to get food and your wine!.Check out St. Nicholas Church (13th-century landmark). Happy Trails :)
Appreciate how you're upfront about what you do & don't particularly like in each destination 🙂 I've lived in Denmark & I agree about the rye bread. Interesting video 👍
Of course us Aussies are still watching you! You passed the test - we’ve adopted you as our own now 😉😉😘😘😂😂
Super impressed with you guys doing the Cold Plunge!
I know what that's like, as I swim in the SF Bay during the winter with no wetsuit, Brrrrisk!
Those ferries really are fancy, thanks for the tour Tia. Your post card drawings are beautiful ❤
What a lovely couple you are. Just saw your video / traveled with you through Australia and of course you've just been also here in Finland ! Take care and enjoy your travels ❤
That ferry is amazing!!! well done on the tour :-)
1:40 that moment when it reaches the crown jewels 🤣
yes, that moment
You folks are adorable! Thanks for taking me along on your adventures.
That was a pretty big Church, stay warm and keep up Tia for scale, next few days here in Melbourne it's going to be in the low to mid 30 degrees C.
Everything over 25 degrees is considered "swelter" weather here in Finland. I don't know how you manage. I'd rather take -30 than over 30 degrees. You can always add more layers but if you're sweating like a pig in the nude in the shadow, there's not much you can do.
It's not the feeling you have in the icy water, it's the feeling you get after you're done warming up again! It helps deal with stress, anxiety, physical exhaustion, tense muscles and bad blood circulation, but it's the after effect that counts, not what you're experiencing while in the water! Although the coldness should get easier to deal with once you have done it many times.
Best opening to a vlog ever! 🌊🌊🌊
You guys seemed exhausted through this whole vlog 😂 Extreme cold is a whole different beast. Intrigued to see Estonia.
Haha we slept horribly the night before! Randomly just could not sleep, and we both woke up at 4am.
And hey you get a postcard, if you’re interested! A comment you left on a different video got a ton of likes 😅 Shoot us an email or message on Instagram if you’d like.
@OnePackWanderers I did send you a message on insta but you may have missed it as my name and pic are different. I'll send another message with a screenshot of this comment 🙂
Hello from summery Australia! The salmon soup looks delicious! The ferry looks like it's a gigantic floating duty free shop/food court. I guess they have captive customers for the two hours.
Wow I was nearly crying with laughter when you got in the water.
Yes, a lot of us Aussies are watching. Been following you two through lockdown and now addicted.
That was so fun to watch, thanks guys. Ooooh postcard hehe
Tia's being anxious in public seeing her heartreate at 130 BPM. Makes me feel better about my heartrate when being out in public places. If anything, these videos are teaching me to be more adventurous. A follower from Australia. 🇦🇺
Job well done Tia on the Ferry review. I don't have anxiety and don't think I could've walked around a ferry seemingly talking to myself. You did great👏
No, the largest orthodox church in the area was the red tilled with golden domes next to the sauna you were at.
Yea we got that one very wrong 😂
@@OnePackWanderers
It is Helsinki Cathedral (Finnish: Helsingin tuomiokirkko, Suurkirkko; Swedish: Helsingfors domkyrka, Storkyrkan). Finnish Evangelical Lutheran cathedral of the Diocese of Helsinki and one of ”the main churches in Finland”.
Amazing job jumping in the water! The way to do it a bit easier is to clear your mind before you go in. Don't think what you're doing, just do it! As long as you can keep it outside your head, it's not that bad.
I fully agree with Tia about Helsinki having such great laid back vibes. Such a nice city to walk around, beautiful buildings, funny quirky Finnish people, great bars and restaurants, the city is a beauty.
Apparently Sandwich Lord's name was Jack and he was Hangry 😉
As an Aussie i had to try the Meat Pie in Finland, Tia's right they taste like doughnuts filled with mince, we got the optional spicy sausage, weird but but yummy, would eat again. Loved the Salmon soup, and Fazer Coffee was about the best we got on our week in Helsinki. Interested to see Estonia as I wanted to go there too.
Oh, you all are so lovely and awezome people, and this video was just as wonderful as any of your videos. I also subbed your amazing channel. Your fun talk, and laughs and all that are so nice and i got to laugh a little too.
This cold swimming after hot sauna and back to sauna is meant to train your body to be stronger and it does make you stronger and healthier so you would get a lot less sick and stuff. But you gotta do it right. You both did really well. Tooths should be in good condition or they will get pain, i have too much in bad shape tooths.
Also, you did really well while vlogging and touring in the ferry.
I am also shy and nervous while recording or vlogging in public.
Thank also for visiting the Estonia, im from here.
It's just a state of mind. After a minute it feels serene. Also, when you get out of the water, after few minutes it feels warm and nice and you feel alive.
By the way the point of the rye bread with the soup was to dip it in there, tastes really freaking good to dip it in the sauce
~6min mark, yes it actually is the donut dough without that much of sugar :D
In Finland we make the biggest Cruise ships in the world and cruising between Sweden and Estonia is kind of a thing we do in the weekends instead of just going to a bar or nightclub and hang out
I believe very cold water helps your body to reset in many ways ❤️ hope you feel much better
Aussie here love you both ❤️❤️
Quite stoic a visit to the ice-cold water. Been a while since my last time, and for me it always feels like gasp-gasp-gasp-huff-huff-huff-imma-gonna-die.
But sauna feels so great afterwards, and you get a bit of a natural high for the effort.
I have spent the past few days binging your Australia, New Zealand, and Winter in Northern Europe series. Wonderful! Then I enjoyed your Q and A vlogs. First rate! Your on camera conversations are so effortless (at least to viewers), honest and heartfelt, and informative. I do believe these are the best in the genre of travel vlogging. I do have 3 QUESTIONS:
1) What are your educational backgrounds?
2) How does Tia produce her wonderful postcards?
3) Doesn’t hiking in sandals lead to scratches, scrapes, and bruises? Japan trek looked gnarly in parts.
Thanks for sharing fun and love! Can’t wait to watch “the crossing!”
Hi 😊
1). Tia has a degree in cultural communications. Cheveyo no degree.
2). Tia draws the postcards on her iPad with an app called Procreate. No AI involved whatsoever, because some people have asked.
3). We both grew up in sandals and were very careful about where we step. No scrapes or bruises 😊
Makes me laugh when every postcard Tia does is the "best one yet" in Chev's eyes! They are all absolutely beautiful - you are a Talented Tia! At Q&A time, we should ask Chev which one was his favourite from the year!
Going up north in finland during sumer is just the best the lakes forest and 24/7 sun is awsome. Deffenetley rovaniemi has the most stuff to do on the arctic circle
Sorry that the Arctic trip didn’t turn out how y’all expected but excited to see Estonia!! I’ve moved to Australia since y’all were here so now I too have Strong Pie Opinions 😅
pro tip: dip in the water get out the water for 10 sec and go back in the water and it feels warm.
I'm all for anxious rambling tours 😊❤ in fact if someone created a you tube channel for just that I'd be subscribed 😉💕
I'm Finn. I don't often go for ice swimming but this weekend I will.
It's great way of winning a battle with yourself to force yourself to go in there. I am trying to get to the point where I could ease my breath while in there after the initial shock.
That shock is kind of a reset, both mentally and physically.
Afterwards it feels so good and it helps with sleep so much!
That salmon soup looked dill-licious!
The meat pie roll thing looked delicious, and the soup looked perfect. Australia doesn't do meat pies or sausage rolls that well, they are pretty ordinary. The UK has the best pies and sausage rolls in the known universe.
Do you have a favorite meat pie place in London? Asking for a friend 🙂
Tia, you make it look so easy dipping into that freezing pool! and love how Cheveyo was much more dramatic than you were. thanks for putting a smile in my face. I needed it. P/s We were in that ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn back in October 2023 too, good memories and we were very impressed by the port and the vessels!
So many Aussies here supporting.May have to do a return visit to our beautiful country.😘
i would love any one of Tia's postcards - theyre soooo beautiful 😍 and yes...still watching from aus 🇦🇺
If you don't mind camping all of Scandinavia has "freedom to roam" meaning your allowed to pitch a tent pretty much anywhere as long as you're not disturbing anyone and respect the nature.
Not really the best season for that though 😅
Actually there may be some country specific differences but as far as I know it goes in all of them.
It's fun hearing about your experiences from my origins! :)
Heh.. I should have watched until the end lol
You just left 😂
No they don't. Denmark is the exception, which certainly does not have "freedom to roam".
@@mikkolukas
It is still allowed to camp one night in a public forest. There’s shelters around the country as well, free to use.
@@mikkolukas I'm going to say it.. I'm very much not surprised that _Denmark_ is the exception 😂
I'm from Adelaide, South Australia and enjoyed seeing around Helsinki and your ferry trip. It brings back memories of my visit there and the ferry trip many years ago. I also went to Copenhagen on the same trip and Tia's colourful postcard also makes me think of my time there. It's the best so far Tia!
I never been a big fan of cold countries but the dynamic duo sure warms the cockles of my heart , what a trooper and Estonia ! What a treat ! LOL
5:00 Glögi, not Glugi, ö is pronounced similar like in the word "Word"
Love the postcard! My wife and I will be in Copenhagen this summer and will be staying in an AirBnB in Nyhavn in a yellow building. Possibly the one in your drawing. :) Do you sell them? Thanks!
So good watching this from Perth, mentally it cools you down. It's been a hot Summer, 41 [106] degrees tomorrow and Saturday here na dnot cooling down that much. It's better to not do the sauna 1st, you can last longer, after 3 minutes the burning stops and you kind of get warmer in a way.
Love the cold diip.
