Although Finland is cold and scarcely populated, there are still great reasons to hitchhike in this Nordic country. For some of them, read my short reportage on a journey done over five days by myself and Atte from Helsinki to the Arctic Sea and back with 38 rides. The article was published in Kirkko & Kaupunki on July 8th 2015. Unfortunately, the article is only in Finnish.
ABOUT ME
I'm Sissi, a Finnish woman intrigued by individual life stories and intercultural encounters, obsessed with how languages and education shape our reality, enraged with chauvinism of all kind. From 2015 my life has been in Latin America, mostly on a bicycle. CYCLING IN LATIN AMERICA
In November 2015, I set out to explore the vast and diverse realities of Latin America, and to question the persistent stereotypes of crime and violence in this region. I decided to do this by cycling first through South America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia from 2015-2017), then through Central America from May 2018. Through local women, I have become more and more involved in female empowerment and tackling male supremacy on this beautiful continent I now call home.
