On Saturday we fly to Helsinki

We hadn't planned to go to Helsinki at all, but yesterday we decided and booked flight tickets. Why this? Well, the big travel fair Matka is going on now and over the weekend. We hadn't really planned to go there, but then we couldn't resist... And there's a motorhome fair at the same time!

The Matka travel fair

The Matka travel fair is the largest travel fair in Northern Europe and we were here in 2016. We met lots of exhibitors in the travel industry and we also went to a blog event in the Turku archipelago in connection with the fair. Here we got to experience everything from mat and delicacies to  art  and paddle fishing. Very exciting and interesting!

Matka 2018

We had no intention of going to Helsinki and Matka this year, but then we got emails from one partner after another ... "See you at Matka?" Seriously, Helsinki isn't that far away. Said and done, a few hours later we had booked both a flight ticket and a hotel night. Helsinki, here we come!

Caravan fair

At the same time as the big travel fair Matka, there is actually a motorhome and caravan fair called Caravan. All the information about the Matka fair is in English, but the information about Caravan is only in Finnish... So we don't know what to expect, but it's exciting! Is there anything special you want us to look out for...?

    Nice! I'm sure it will be a great weekend! I was also going there but have changed my plans.
    Moving to warmer climates. Dd is more appealing right now. But Helsinki is always nice to visit.
    Wishing you a great trip,

    It's great to have a spontaneous trip. Such trips are often just as successful as planned ones. Have a look at the Finnish Caravan website on Google translate and you'll probably get an idea of what to expect.

    The fair is similar to our own Caravan, I think.

    I personally love Ostrobothnia and all these nice people we have met there, or just talked to on the phone. I would like to come back and visit the smithy where Fiskars started. We wish you a pleasant journey.

    So much fun with a trip so suddenly 🙂 .
    Sounds interesting. But I hope you find someone who speaks English or maybe even Swedish as it can be difficult to understand Finnish 😉.
    Have fun 🙂
