Two Pines Outdoors is a small, owner operated outdoors company that is determined to provide you with the absolute best experience in nature that you can have. We are based in Viitasaari, near the lakeside city of Jyvaskyla in Central Finland. We run trips in the area, but also in Lapland and Karelia.

I spent my childhood running around Cape Cod and worked as a chef through college. My early adult years were traveling, studying and working around the world. I spent time in Southeast Asia, West Africa, Scotland and Cyprus before finding myself working as a project manager in the jungles of Nepal where I canoed to work everyday. I sort of stumbled into Finland, where I became a certified guide in 2018 and I have worked as a full time guide across Finland ever since!
I hold advanced first aid certifications, I am a certified EPP3 Paddler and a member of the Finnish Survival Guild.
I am an avid hunter, fisherman, snowmobiler, canoeist and I love to cook. I started Two Pines Outdoors out of a passion for nature and a desire to share the wilderness skills that I have built over my years working as a professional outdoorsman. I welcome you to come on one of our trips or contact me to build your own perfect excursion!

Feel free to get in touch and we can build a trip to your exact interests and specifications. Whether it is bushcraft, hiking, canoeing, fishing, hunting, camping, snowmobiling or open fire cooking, we can tailor make your experience in Finland.
Not interested in a guide but need help in planning your trip? We offer consultancy services to help you organize your self-guided trip, or just a “man on the ground” to help with logistics, accomodation and renting equipment locally.
