Kaisa

A sauna-loving, cinnamon bun-eating Finn with a serious case of wanderlust. 30+ countries later, I’ve discovered that home is everywhere and anywhere, as long as I have my husband and camera at hand. I work in digital marketing, love going to concerts and watching documentaries, and recently returned from a 6-month volunteering stint in Tanzania. Find me on www.kaisasd.com
