My friend Joonas called me one day in late September and asked me if I would like to join him on a roadtrip to Nordkapp, the northern most point of Europe. In his classic Porsche. I said it sounds like a dumb idea and that I love it. We took a train as far up as we could get, after which we drove through the Finnish Lapland and the Norwegian Finnmark to Nordkapp (North Cape), and eventually made our way back south to Helsinki.

The car is a 1966 Porsche 912. We were pretty much alone on the road this far off season, driving through stunning fall colours and Arctic landscapes. The trip proved to be rewarding in so many ways – sauna in the middle of nowhere, camping under spectacular northern lights and finally standing at the edge of the world was mind-blowing.

Inspired by the experience, we are already planning our next trip. Stay tuned!
