Welcome to Hiking in Finland – blog about my hiking trips in Finland as well as abroad.
My name is Juha Ylitalo. I am 40 years old with 10+ years career in IT industry. More information about my professional career and education can be found from LinkedIn.
After this life changing experince, I’ve been doing for day trips in
Madeira (levadas in March, 2003),
Iceland (June, 2004),
Scotland (July, 2005),
Acores (April, 2006) and number of others.
In November 2003, I pushed things to next level in Inca Trail, Peru (four days hike), bought myself a tent, Trangia stove, etc. and started to do hiking trips. Since then, I’ve been hiking in
Dolomites, Italy (three days hike in via Ferrata routes in August, 2004),
Machame trail to Kilimanjaro (November, 2004, but didn’t reach peaks)
Birgitan Polku (May, 2005)

Hi there Juha. I found your site via the comments on Jim Goldstein’s site. I am an avid hiker and kayaker in Hawaii. Oh.. Also a second generation proud Finn! I love reading your hiking posts and am sure my family will use them as a resource when we hit the trails in Finland. Hopefully sooner than later!
Nice to meet you.
