A personal idea from Teemu

Letter From Finland

A little piece of Finland, delivered by post?

The silence of a forest. Winter light on snow. A small moment you wish you could keep.

I'm exploring an idea: a photograph I've taken in Finland, a short personal letter about the place behind it, and a small sticker — sent to your home.

Before I take it further, I'd love to know: would this be something for you?

I'd love a letter from Finland

A photograph. A few honest words.

From my walks to your letterbox

I'm Teemu, the person behind Rather Be In Finland. I take photographs because words alone never quite capture how a place feels. This is a way I might share both with you, away from a screen.

Every photograph on this page is my own. The idea is to pair my photography with words I write myself, about the places and moments behind the pictures.

What I'm considering

A photograph I took

A printed photograph from Finland: something to keep, put on your wall or send on to someone who would love it.

A letter from that place

A short, personal letter in English about the photograph, the surroundings and the feeling of being there.

A small extra

A sticker to accompany the photograph and letter. The final contents are still taking shape.

Still an idea, shaped with you

Help me decide whether to make it happen

I'm gathering interest before deciding whether to launch. The price, delivery options and frequency haven't been set.

If the idea moves forward, I'll share a clear proposal before you decide whether to buy. Registering here doesn't place an order or start a paid subscription.

Your email is enough; your name is optional. No payment or postal address is needed. This list is separate from the shop's newsletter.
