About Emilia - the Doer
Before becoming oficial travel guide I have worked years in restaurants as a waitress and as a sommelier. Im also a big time nature lover and traveler. It is always great to meet people from other cultures and share things!
For me, best way to approach culture is through food.
When understanding what locals eat, you can learn so many things about them and about their past.
In Finland you need to understand also the meaning of the nature, because its present everywhere, in architecture, in design, in way of thinking and of course in gastronomy.
Gastronomy and wine is my passion and my work as well. I cant wait to share my knowledge with YOU!
