Going Global and the largest travel site of Finland joins in
We kicked of Instagram Travel Thursday, #IGTravelThursday, last week with 22 blog posts. Many more joined us on Instagram sharing travel photos with the #IGTravelThursday hashtag (a few pictures featured above!). Several bloggers who write in a different language than English contacted us and wanted to join in and we got this idea of starting country/language-specific linkys hosted by smaller teams of 3-4 co-hosts in each country/region/language. Are you interested in co-hosting #IGTravelThursday in your language? Contact me or leave a comment in the post! This week I am excited to announce that we partnered with Finland’s largest travel website
Rantapallo.fi and three of their bloggers, including our very own Satu Vänskä-Westgarth (
ToDestinationUnknown on Instagram) with her
Destination Unknown Finnish version, and with two other Rantapallo’s bloggers Nella with her blog
Kaukokaipuu and Veera with her blog
Running with Wild Horses. These ladies are well-known in Europe and Nella and Satu were just named as the top two travel bloggers in Finland by Cision. Veera is the most popular travel blogger in Finland writing about Asian destinations.

Instagram Destination: Finland
As we welcome our Finnish bloggers, it’s only appropriate to feature a few Instagram pictures of Finland as well!
You can also search for travel photos from Finland with the hashtag #VisitFinland, and you can find Skimbaco team’s photos from Finland with #skimbacofinland.
