Let's go out into nature together!

Timo Junttila

Wilderness and nature guide, photographer and yoga teacher

Timo has pursued a career as a photographer, taught yoga for over ten years, and graduated as a wilderness and nature guide from the prestigious Eerikkilä Sports Institute.

On his own expeditions, Timo seeks balance and tranquility in nature, as well as encounters with the natural surroundings or fellow adventurers. He has noticed how moving in nature enhances both physical and mental well-being. Respecting nature is crucial, and therefore, thorough preparation is essential.
Timo is a gentle and patient guide with experience in various expeditions and adventurers in Finland and beyond.

"Every step in nature is an opportunity to renew, strengthen, and recover from everyday life.

Aava Outdoors was born out of an extension of my own trips in nature and the adventures that followed. As a trained guide and a passionate advocate for outdoor life, I want to offer others the chance to experience the freedom associated with moving in nature.

​Wandering outdoors, one experiences unforgettable moments, tranquility, the chance to learn, and a connection to nature. I believe that individually tailored guidance allows for a genuine experience of nature and the wilderness.

Research shows that nature has a healing effect, and this can be complemented with appropriate programs, such as forest-minded yoga or guided forest bathing. With Aava Outdoors' small groups, you can safely venture into nature. When you leave the rush and unnecessary haste behind on our trips, you will find space for your own experience of nature. The trips are carefully planned, taking into account nature enthusiasts of different levels and their requirements. I focus on safety and sustainable tourism, so that every traveller can fully enjoy the experience in a natural environment".
