About us

I have a Master’s degree in Tourism Research and have always loved traveling.

However, in recent years, I have noticed that short trips and being a “tourist” in a beach chair and spending a week in one destination no longer give me as much as travel has to offer.

In my studies within tourism research, I focused on responsible tourism and yoga tourism. Although I am aware of the ecological disadvantages of tourism, I think it is not so black and white.

There are many different ways to travel, and small choices can have an impact as much as is reasonable on an individual level, without sacrificing too much of the travel experience and quality.

That is why I am here – I want to help others make better travel choices easily.

I strive to travel slowly, for a long time, and in a present way.

For me, this means avoiding popular destinations and high season, and rather finding unique destinations and enjoyable things to do instead of navigating from one tourist destination to another.

This can mean staying in one destination for longer, trying to understand the culture better and finding unforgettable experiences while traveling.

I will recommend travel destinations where nature and the opportunity for amazing yoga holidays and retreats are possible.

I think conscious travel could be clearer and easier, because at the moment I experience two problems with this:

1. Conscious and responsible travel sounds too complicated, as there is no clear information about it, or it is contradictory, or expressed in difficult terms.

2. When talking about conscious travel, the conversation too often turns to blaming individuals and the unecological nature of all travel, and the thought that the only option is not to travel at all.

I think it would be more important to focus on how we can make traveling together a little more conscious and less harmful instead of pointing fingers.

Traveling is about life-enriching experiences without harming nature, people or culture.

I want to help you easily find better travel destinations and choices.

Travel broadens your mind and they say that you get worn out on a trip, but isn’t the goal to return home from your vacation relaxed?

My passion is slow and wellness travel. I believe that many others would also like to travel more mindfully or focus on wellness also during vacation, but don't know how or where to start.

My idea is to help make these travel choices easily.

I am also a RYT-500 certified yoga teacher.

I will share at this website slowtravelrepeat.com wonderful yoga vacations and retreats.

On my yoga websties www.sinimalism.studio (and Finnish www.sinimalism.com ) websites you can practice yoga with me for free.
