Luontopolku – A Nature Trail Back to Your Senses

Welcome to Your Journey

Welcome to the first steps toward clarity and becoming yourself through intentional travel.

Intentional travel is not about ticking destinations off a list. It's about tuning in. It's the conscious choice to create space for reflection, rest, and renewal. When we travel with purpose, we begin to see more clearly.

Here you find an intentional travel resource to reconnect with yourself through reflection, movement, and mindful exploration — the Finnish way. Luontopolku, the Finnish word for "nature trail," is not about reaching a destination—it’s about rediscovering your rhythm, your senses, and your inner voice.

This is your journey—guided, but deeply personal.

I Will Journey Along

Hi, I’m Mirka Kristiina—transformative travel coach, author, and sustainable tourism professional.

After burnout, I took a 180-day sabbatical to reset. In a quiet Finnish lakeside cabin, Luontopolku—my signature program—was born. Nature helped me reconnect, and solo journeys across the world brought clarity and strength.

Now I help others do the same: navigate transitions, solo journey, rediscover purpose, and travel with intention. Whether you're seeking space, change, or simply a moment to breathe, I’ll journey along.

My Pillars as a Transformative Travel Coach

Give yourself time and silence. Your inner voice knows the way.

Transform through travel. Step out alone to reconnect and rediscover who you are.

Stay conscious—journal your journey. Insight lives in the in-between moments.

Find your courage. Travel reveals the strength you didn’t know you had.

Discover what brings you joy. Then build your life around it.

You already carry the compass. This is your invitation to use it.
