Practice your Finnish listening skills and learn Finnish nature vocabulary. You’ll hear us talk about picking berries and roaming in forests.
In this episode of the Finking Cap Podcast, you will hear a conversation (in Finnish) about nature and everyman’s rights, jokaisenoikeudet, which relate to the freedom to roam in nature, regardless of who owns the land.
My guests are Risto Holappa and Rita Porkka, who are both entrepreneurs, and they both work closely with nature-related themes. We talk about what nature means to them and what they enjoy doing in the forest. This is not a sponsored episode, the focus of our discussion is on nature and our personal experiences, however, Risto and Rita do mention their businesses in the episode.
We hope you enjoy listening to our nature chat!
