My goal is to make meaningful, small-scale travel the new luxury.
Through The Journey Studio, I design intentional journeys that combine professional coaching methodology with immersive nature experiences, a unique approach that goes beyond traditional tourism.

I offer guided nature experiences, slow travel, and coaching in Finland during summer and autumn, and in Spain during winter and spring, following the rhythm of the seasons.

I work with individuals, coaches, and organisations seeking clarity, wellbeing, and lasting impact. Each journey begins with a pause and continues long after the return home.

Experiences of Finnish Happiness

“I spent the weekend with Mirka for her Happiness Camp experience. I don’t say this lightly that I think it was a life changing experience and a weekend I will be thinking about for a long time. Mirka has a gift for speaking with people and asking the right questions and while she guides the experience, it is completely custom to each person. I want to bring back all of my friends and family so they can experience it for themselves! “ ‍ ‍— Roya Fox
