I want Mark and Jocelyn to adopt me. Their kids have been places in their young lives that I'll NEVER probably see.

[LoganHunter]

In summer, there are many towns and cities to visit in Finland. One to mention, is Hanko.

[AZWallbreaker]

Finland, here I come!!!! I plan on going to Helsinki, Kupio, Turkuu, and Rovaniemi later this year!

[SkaldrecI]

Awesome that someone finds my lovely hometown Turku so cozy! There are certainly more in Finland than just Helsinki. Thanks for great video dude! 😊

I wish the weather here in Finland would be as nice as it is in this video. Missing the summer and specially in Turku. Oh, and also lovely and informative video as always. And greetings from snowy, cold and dark Finland! :)

I live in Helsinki, but I love Turku ! Taking the train(VR) or bus(Onnibussi is the cheapest bus company and starts at 2€/way) from Hki to Turku can be quite cheap and the trip is only 2-2, 5 hours depending on the type of transportation you opt to use.

I also was an exchange student in Turku 18 years ago: fantastic time and experience! Great vid by the way)

[rachellerachelle]

Great to see videos on lesser-known places Mark! I was in Turku a year and a half ago and it was my favourite place in Finland that I got to see. The Luostarinmäki Handicrafts Museum, which you mention in passing, was also a really fun and interesting place to visit.

I think Wolter uses the word “nice” roughly 100 times in this video. Nice!

i have been there! just last week, actually. fantastic city. very cool there

[alexisrae]

A lot of Americans don't realize that Finland has an AMAZING music scene!

[zacheryclark]

I was there a week ago. I already miss it.

[laurimaukonen]

I wonder why in any travel guide of Turku, nobody mentions the Ruissalo island? The second oldest rock festival in Europe, Ruisrock, is held there, you can enjoy the nature in national park, walk around the shores and check out the villas, there are a couple of beaches, golf club, camping site and in the evening and morning you can watch the cruise ships pass by.

Just to mention the first things that came to mind.

My father is from Oulu but lived in Turku from 1986 to 1991 before moving to the Balearics in Spain, really lovely city that i've only been to once in 2004 :/
I agree Finland is so much more than Helsinki, in fact a lot of us people from Northern and Eastern Finland loathe Helsinkians because they are sometimes snobs haha

[SITRUUNAKAKKU-klsf]

I WOULD LOVE TO VISIT IN TURKU. STUDY THERE AND LIVE THERE SOME DAY

[TopGearShorts]

I live in finland and i was in the video😁👍
