'Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do...'

Helsinki was established by King Gustav 1 of Sweden in 1550 and since, the city has retained a nordic flair, while being friendly and welcoming....a feat, considering just how packed it is with tourists! What makes this city so special is the fact that it is part of the southern peninsula as well as 315 islands! A geographical wonder indeed. This welcoming and friendly manner was definitely present when I met the above model while walking through the busy streets. I love the laid back skater look and of course the long hair (very Kurt Cobain, but far cleaner)...
