Instagram Travel Thursday: Going Global as Finland is the First One to Join!

#IGTravelThursday - uniting the global travel blogger community.

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. Nellahelsinki on Instagram Follow our official co-host in Finland NellaHelsinki.

  1. Finland has always been at the tippy-top of my must-see list. I’m loving #IGTravelThursday. Thank you!!!

  2. More destinations added to the never-ending bucket list of places to go, even if only vicariously via Instagram.

  3. One more place to add to my list :) And yay for going global! It goes to show how important the photographic aspect of travel is to people to capture their experiences.

    I’m super excited to be taking this happening to Finland, and it seems we have a super excited crew there ready to join in! Thanks for creating this opportunity for all of us, Katja.
