Next stop on My Finnish School 🎶 MATKALAULU (Travel Song) by @finnfun_school Finnish School of Vancouver 🚍🚠🚃🚆🛫🛬⛵️🛳️ 💼

I arrived in beautiful Vancouver 🇨🇦 in September 2025 for the very first time in my life. Before the workshop, I had a few days to soak in the famous Vancouver vibe and enjoy the scenery✨
FinnFun is an active, warm, and vibrant community of Finns and friends in the Vancouver area. We had a super productive workshop—and even got to perform a short version of Matkalaulu at my concert afterwards 🎹🎤

For the song’s theme, we chose traveling 🌍 — something Vancouver Finns definitely know a thing or two about with those long journeys to Finland!

Enjoy MATKALAULU! 🎧 Available now on all digital streaming platforms!
