Welcome to Grow Wild in Forest Soil

If you’ve just found your way here — maybe from Instagram, maybe by pure chance — you’re in the right place. This is where my stories about nature, everyday adventures, wild findings, and a touch of mysticism begin.

🌿 Who I am: A nature-loving writer and wanderer from Finland, exploring forests, lakes, and secret paths with my three children.

🍄 What you’ll find here:

  • Nature adventures — hikes, paddleboard trips, boat trips, wild stories. My best adventure post is right here.

  • Wild discoveries — interesting plants, mushrooms tracks, animals, insects and treasures from the forest. See my most exciting discovery post here.

  • Notes where you’ll find short nature moments — real places, curious facts, gentle hellos, and a touch of mystic thought.

  • Reflections — thoughts on nature and nature connection. Read my most liked reflection here.

  • Mystical tales — imaginative stories of enchanted nature; whimsical forests, dancing mushrooms, and little wonders you might not notice at first glance. See one of my mystical tales here.

  • Chat for subscribers to ask, share, and connect over all things wild and wonderful.
