Nature | Adventure | Art

The coolest workshop I've done! 🤩 A month ago I had the joy of hosting an art workshops during Hiiumaa Loodusmatk, where almost 200 hikers covered 40km during 2 days of hiking.

On the second day of the hike I set up an art station at Kaleste beach and was ready to spread the love for painting outdoors. From noon till 5 PM, I had a steady stream of hikers stopping by to paint, relax, and reconnect with nature through watercolor.

I shared a few tips and tricks, but more than anything, I witnessed people rediscover how calming and joyful art can be - especially outdoors. Some hadn’t picked up a brush in 20+ years. Others told me they’d always been scared of art because of bad school experiences. But here they were, painting by the sea, soaking in the sun, feeling proud, creative, and at peace.

It wasn’t about the outcome, it was about the moment - slowing down, observing, creating. What a beautiful break in the middle of a long hike.

Thank you, @hiiumaa_loodusmatk, for trusting me to bring this to life, and thank you @fjallravenofficial for making it possible!

What a joy! What a joy. 💛

What an amazing way to celebrate your friend's birthday! Rane booked a private workshop in my Studio to spend quality time with her dear friend and to celebrate her birthday. As the weather was brilliant we decided to go outside and paint in the park. There's magic in the sun, the trees and trying to capture it with watercolors. 2,5 hours just flew past and we could have sat in that park for much longr. Complete relaxation, creativity and quality time 😌

🎨 If you want to do a watercolor workshop with your friends or family this summer, get in touch, I have some dates available! I can come all across Estonia :)

I have a very important message to the world!

(And honestly, the sun was shining but the water was so cold my feet started to cramp! 😅)

Remember back in November when I told you my vanlife will go into hibernation mode? Well, the spring has arrived, and with that a new season of van adventures. But this time, with an updated crew 👀 The summer of 2025 will be different than anything that has come before. I'm very excited to see (and share with you) how all of this will unfold! ⛺️🌤🚗

Have you ever...
…settled for a backpack in boring colors that didn’t feel like you?
…struggled with straps that dig in, a waist belt that won’t stay put, or a fit that just feels off?
…carried extra weight just because the pack came loaded with features you never even use?

Me too. That’s why me and Stiina from @nakidmetsa designed these custom-made backpacks!
🎒Bold colors and cute, nature-inspired patterns (designed by me 😊)
🎒 Custom-made to fit YOUR body
🎒 Lightweight and stripped down to only what you really need (with tens of thousands of kilometers worth experience from @smallfootprint_bigadventures )

✨ I'm so-so excited to share this project with you and I hope you will find your new hiking buddy here 😊

Imagine my surprise when I noticed it! 🤩

Here are all the little paintings and sketches I did last week on my vacation in Oslo (and around), Norway. I've been recording my travels into my small sketchbooks FOR 10 YEARS, since 2015! And it is still my favourite tradition 🥰.

If I could recommend only ONE place to visit in Oslo, then it would have to be the Ekebergparken. A beautiful park with gorgeous views to the Oslo Fjord, right next to the city centre. But the BEST part is that there are over 40 modern and classical sculptures "hidden" in the park. I LOVED the wide range of different sculptures and topics they covered. The fact we had to find them among the trees made it like a scavenger hunt! So fun!

If you're in Oslo, do not miss this 🤩.

On the other side of Oslo Fjord lies another magnificent shoreline for bare-feet-on-warm-rock therapy. But before that, you need to pass thru a Middle-Earth-looking forest with giant rocks, stubborn trees and the softest moss.

Even just looking at the pictures makes my heart rate slow down, breath deepen and soul open. Such a magical place 💙🇳🇴.

📍Guttormsvauen, Norway.

Verdens ende 🇳🇴. World's End. About 2h drive from Oslo you'll find a mesmerising rock landscape, where the best part is to walk on these seemingly endless, smooth rocks. If you're lucky, the sun will have heated up those rocks and you can take your shoes off and give yourself a gorgeously grounding bare-feet-on-warm-rock therapy.

I'm nearing 40 and it seems it's time for my Pink Era. Also, doing these loose people sketches is so much fun!

The air was warm and the water was cold and I felt such a surge of childish joy that I haven't felt for a long time. Simple stuff is the best stuff!

📍 Somewhere along the Akerselva river in Oslo centre. The roverside is fully walkable and such an oasis between all the houses! Let me know if you find the swing 😉

After 5 years of van and nature travel it sure feels good to have a proper city vacation! A big thanks to my GF 😘 who planned all the sights on this trip and showed me all these hidden and (not so hidden) gems in Oslo 🇳🇴 😍🙏.

I wanted to share with you what I did last weekend, but I got very carried away with my upcoming trip preparationa (more on that soon! 👀), and the time just flew! 🙃

BUT! I did something very special 🤩 Last weekend, Cool Land Race 2025 Sled Dog Sport Competition was taking place in Northern Estonia. I was invited as a speaker to share my tales of my winter hiking adventures with two dogs.

🔊I left the audio on on the clips deliberately, I just LOVE the sound of excited dogs! The buzz of the race, the smell of pine trees and the warm and curious people created such a lovely atmosphere. Watching sleddogs in action brought back many great memories and reignited my passion for doing dog sports with Linkka.

🛷My stories, experiences and tips were well received by the sledding sport enthusiasts and it was exciting for me to see all the different setups people had and share knowledge in community. The conversations continued in the sauna in the evening (as they do in Estonia)! :)

🌊On Sunday, I drove to the nearby seaside and enjoyed my alone time sketching a few quick scenes, breathing in the crisp salty air and soaking in the beauty of the day.

🙏I feel so grateful being able to travel and share what I love with others - be it hiking with dogs in the wilderness, outdoor art hikes or art workshops for big and small.

Do you have an event in mind where you think I should speak at? Let me know in DM! :)

I was travelling around Estonia last weekend, trying out some new things, and I was thinking about belonging. And about finding THAT ONE passion. It has been an interesting journey from “not belonging anywhere” to feeling belonging in several places and spaces... 🙂

Take a wild guess - what was I up to this weekend? 👀 Here are the keywords: Talk, Race, Adventure, Dog

What did you come up with?

*****

Before I reveal what happened, a few thoughts on the topic of BELONGING.

🥾When I started off my adventures in the outdoors, it did not feel like I belonged in nature or that I was nature and nature was me. I was not resonating with any of those grand ideas.

🌲If I am truly honest, I felt like I did not belong anywhere and of all places I could think of it was nature that made sense.

At some point nature started feeling like home, like a second skin. The outdoors became my passion.

Then suddenly ART started sneaking in.

It has been an interesting journey from “not belonging anywhere” to “feeling belonging in several places and spaces.”

✨️Today, I am no longer just an outdoor girl finding her way. Today I am a multifaceted woman embracing all that I am, and, instead of thinking I need to choose that One Thing I am passionate about, I follow my curiosity where it takes me.

And where it has taken me so far is quite a lot of FUN! 😊

My first successful studio workshop season has come to an end! In 5 months since opening my studio, I have hosted different watercolor workshops for children and adults. The youngest was 4 years old and the oldest well over 80! Such fun! Thank you all who came, who trusted the process and let the colors guide you 🙏 It has been the most rewarding thing to see you all exploring art. Thank you all for your support!

What next? The studio will take a little break but not me! During the summer time I will be hosting workshop in the nature, painting plants and landscapes and just enjoying time outdoors with a creative twist. If you wish to go on a creative hike with your friends, family, etc, let me know and let's make it happen! I'll be available for creative hikes all over Estonia 🎨🥾🌲

I especially love this canvas-style material because it is very durable to ripping, to sparks from the fire and oberall wear-and-tear. 🤓Fun fact, I found this jacket from a second hand store and although it looked old, it’s still in great condition and I was extremely happy to find such a Fjällräven retro gem 👌.

For the last 8 years I have been spending my birthday outside. Sometimes I have planned grand adventures for this time, sometimes I just find a place and make fire somewhere and enjoy a simple day outside. It's by far one of my favourite traditions and I'm hoping to continue with it for a long time 🥳.

There was a time when my days were filled with adventure—three seasons of dog sledding in northern Sweden, years of traveling with my two dogs, always chasing the wild and the unknown.

Being outside wasn’t just a hobby; it was my way of life.

Now, I live in a town. My days are spent indoors more than ever, especially since I’ve started taking my art seriously. I don’t go on epic journeys or sleep under the stars as often.

Some days, I wonder—can I still call myself a "nature person" if I’m not out there all the time?

But then I realized: my relationship with nature hasn’t faded; it’s just changed. It’s deeper now.

I don’t need grand adventures to feel connected. I find nature in small, everyday moments—a quiet walk with my dog, the way sunlight dances through the trees, the smell of trees in the forest.

So if you feel like you’ve drifted from nature, know this: you don’t have to climb mountains to belong to the wild. Look up at the sky, breathe it all in.

Nature is still here, always waiting.

Wool is seriously underrated! I’ve been slowly switching over to natural materials on all my undergarments. Merino t-shirts in particular are a game-changer for me! They’re warm, breathable, and don’t leave you feeling like you’re trapped in a sauna (unlike synthetics).

In a bit colder weather, wool sweaters are my go-to. Breathability is my top priority and you can't convince me to wear synthetic fleese anymore, however fluffy and soft they are. Wool sweaters are TOP TIER!

I actually have a favorite wool sweater that’s been with me since 2019—I've worn it on ALL of my big trips, winter walks, and endless adventures. Over time, it’s worn a little thin, especially under the arms, but instead of tossing it, I’ve repaired it. Last year I knitted myself new cuffs!

Just today, I gave it another quick fix—it took me 15 minutes to patch the underarms, and now it’s ready for another year of wear. And honestly, that’s the beauty of repairing your clothes. Instead of buying new, why not give your favorite pieces a second (or third) life? Patches, stitching, or even a bit of creative mending can keep your clothes going strong.

Are you into repairing your clothes and outdoor gear? Let’s make it a thing—because fashion today is way too disposable ♻️✨

My go to sweater is from @fjallravenofficial and it's called Övik knit sweater. Absolutely gorgeous 😍.

The cabin that we picked for our recent creative getaway was so inspiring that I wanted to paint it. I imagined how the little house would look in the summer time, surrounded by lush greenery... I love winter, but oh man how hard it is without the snow (that we really haven't had here in Estonia) 🥲 So here I am, dreaming of summer time! Who would have thought that I'd be the one waiting for the winter to end 🤷‍♀️😀

Thank you @metsik.eu for the inspiring stay! 🌿

A burden off my mind by not having access to WiFi.

A sigh of relief not having to do anything.

Shutting off the world to unfold the magic in the mind.

A little fox that passes by the window to remind we are all just part of nature.

A sauna walming up the bones from this seemingly endless January.

A Creative Getaway.

It's now one of my favourite new tradition we made for ourselves with my girlfriend. A promise to nurture our endless creative ideas and give time and space for them to grow.

Thank you @metsik.eu for the best little house in the woods! I was so inspired by it all that I had to paint a picture of it 🥰. And I now definitely want to go back there in the summer ☀️!

A burden off my mind by not having access to WiFi.

A sigh of relief not having to do anything.

Shutting off the world to unfold the magic in the mind.

A little fox that passes by the window to remind we are all just part of nature.

A sauna walming up the bones from this seemingly endless January.

A Creative Getaway.

It's now one of my favourite new tradition we made for ourselves with my girlfriend. A promise to nurture our endless creative ideas and give time and space for them to grow.

The first time I was about to run a painting workshop outside, teaching people, I was hesitant.

I didn't know if I had enough content to teach others.
I did’t know if I was going to like it. What if I just wanted to paint by myself and trying to teach would be a big mistake?

Well, it turns out, I LOVED every second of it!

What became fascinating for me throughout different workshops was to witness many people having old traumas (mostly from art classes at school) and limiting beliefs around their creativity and then slowly and gradually letting go of those and finding their flow.

It has become one of my missions now to help people realise that EVERYONE is creative! It gives me such pleasure to see people on their journey of self-discovery.

I promise, art is for everyone, so if you feel hesitant, a little unsure, come and join me on any of my workshops - I think you might be surprised!

It's a beautiful way to connect with the nature that we are a part of and learn more about ourselves.

What an amazing Saturday we had! The launch party for my art studio was a huge success and thank you all who came to celebrate it!

My favourite part of it was doing the mini workshop demo where we did some Christmas cards. My heart absolutely exploded with joy and happiness when I saw the parents and kids making art along each other and when I saw BOTH were actually enjoying the process I knew - I need to make more of these child-parent (or grandparent/aunt/uncle/big sister/brother) kind of events. What a beautiful way to spend quality time together! Who wants to join? ☺️
