Love it. I was in Helsinki in Sept 2014 and made a video for my channel. It's been doing very well. What a great place.
Ice swimming is my winter hobby....I go twice a week with my stepmom to this place where there is a sauna and a frozen lake.... I love it....
I've checked Konsta's instagram and those pictures are just awesome! It looks like from a fairy tale. Definitely going to Finland one day :)

Hey, it helped us out when we needed it!
I've been following Kpunkka for so long, haha it's crazy how connected the world is through social media. I love it!
My fiancé and I are going to Helsinki in less than two weeks, we were excited before, but after watching your videos... We're on a whole new level!!! I love your guys energy and passion for traveling! Keep up the amazing videos! Cheers!
Your videos make me miss Finlnad. They really show how beautiful the country is!
That birds and squirrels feeding moment was amazing!
I went to Estonia last year which is only a boat ride away from Finland. Although I mainly stayed in Talinn, the city is small, but beautiful. Also, Talinn was the main city, but in Lahemaa National Park, there was a rustic, old time tavern called the Altja Tavern, where I had my best ever mug of coffee.
I am so crazy about this country although I have never been there! and by the way, your blog is amazing . Konsta has melted my heart. Thanks guys for a beautiful video!!!

Hi! I loved this video, you guys made Finland look sooooo beautiful :') You really should come to Kalajoki. It's on the west and there's no mountains or any high places. And we have this place called "hiekkasärkät" and in summer we have midsummer festival. I'm glad that you had fun in Finland and we wish you'll come back soon! :)
Awesome video! So cold yet so beautiful
Love the squirrels and birds❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome video, and nice meeting you guys :) !
Thumbs up for the winter swimming.
Yay, come back soon! :)
Hey vaga brothers come to Mazatlán Mexico on its carnaval party's in February. We have a lot to offer to you too in march/April with a motorcycle festival and beaches for the Holy Week. It's a cultural city plus it has beaches and incredible places to go to dance, eat and have a good time ! Plus it's cheap and near your home city California !
I already praised you guys on Twitter but I have to do it here too. Amazing video (again), I'm always sooo excited to see what have you filmed and done. Great job!!
this video put a smile on my face :)
This was awesome video vagabros! Greetings from Finland!

These video are so good! There incredible! I subbed!
wow this was amazing video!
You should go to Finland's west coast in the summer, places like Kalajoki and Yyteri have gorgeous beaches!
Konsta is awesome and so is this channel, but one thing I have to correct: Seurasaari is part of Helsinki, but 15 minutes outside of city center. There is actually more of Helsinki to see in the suburbs as well. But I guess that would probably feel like the countryside for those living in greater cities.
At the summer you can go to a long lake called Päijänne. You can order an boat trip, go fishing, walk along long islands. You should taste some fried vendaces too!
Come to Denmark, I'm in Denmark, you can borrow our couch:) The coast line, mols bjerge and silkeborg lakes are beautiful:)
Just 80 km by boat in Estonia you have people to meet too ! wooop woop - next time come here, lot of adventurous travel loving people here :)
Best place on earth! Although my finnish gf left me, my heart still belongs to this wonderful country! Strong winters, in contrast to midsummer, kahvi and cake, late breakfast with extraordinary bakery, and the best are the most tolerant and relaxed people in the world you meet in bars and coffeehouses. Creative, as almost everyone is a musician, actor or thinker. Amazing exchange during drunk nights. Wonderful women, super modern culture, ahead of the EU. This is where I wanna die!
Good video! I don't know what you shold do. Because I don't live in helsinki, but I live in finland. In helsinki you can see the town and more like that things. But in close to lapland you can see finland's beatiful nature. Lapland is so beatiful in winter! :)) And sorry my english isn't very good!
Excellent video. I really liked the birds, you got some cool shots. Looking forward as always to your next video. Big Dave
I think that you should go to lapland in winter it is just amaizing to be on top of tunturi what is like a mountain. The wiew is just great! ☺
I found you guys because of Miisa so this was cool. Oh and i also follow Konsta in Instagram because i thought that the squirrel whispering was so cool hahha. Come to Finland again, you have alot more to explore! :)

Wooow what a surprise to find this video!! I recently subscribed to vagabrothers because your videos always show the world in a very different and more realistic perspective. Your work is very professional and well done and that's why I became a fan easily. And what a nice coincidence that you visit Helsinki when I'm here :D Keep doing this amazing job, love it!

I'm from uruguay and I've been following you for a year now. I have plans to do the same trip next year (also in winter) but by bus becouse it's way cheaper than train. I'm looking forward to see what you do in the next month. Also if you could tell us how to plan a trip like this one could be awsome. Thanks!

What would be really cool if you came to Kotka in Finland, thats where i live. It`s not that exciting place, but you could come durring the sea festival ``meripäivät`` we have here every year, i really hate living in this small city, but it really wakes up durring the sea festival.... Anyway, hope you be back in Finland sometime!! :))

Both seasons are nice, but different. It was very warm and welcoming in summer, but almost more beautiful in winter. Plus, the sauna feels better in the winter!

Is this video about Finland or about you guys?
I asked one time some people in Helsinki what is the most interesting think in this city and the answer shocked me little bit...: "cheap ferry to Tallinn".
What's a good month to catch the squirrels and birds?
Hello, which is the smoke sauna that you visited? Thankss :)
YOu guys are great ....but plz visit ICELAND for a month or so and get us as much knowledge on the country as possible.
A trip planned for Finland for Christmas break what do you wear?!! From the US and haven't a clue!! I mean what brands of boots recommended?
How about Thailand????? I is your FAN here come here pls. ^^
What camera and microphone do you recommend?
What camera you using? I need small camera with good low-light shooting. GoPro is so great when enough light but fails when low-light.

Okay I think my duty as a citizen of Denmark to advertise my country. Denmark has beautiful nature. It's not mountains or huge rivers, but still beautiful. We have many castles, princes and a queen! I believe it's worth visiting the northern part of Jutland, specially where two oceans meet, none the less of course the capital Copenhagen. And the little town where Hans Christian Andersen was born, Odense!
