Getting here from afar

Distance is not measured in kilometers anymore, but in the difficulty of getting somewhere. It can seem easier to get to New York than to Vitsaniemi. It seems we’ve forgotten that the journey is part of the experience.

We champion a knowledge of northern Europe, especially of Tornedalen, and try to make it as easy as possible to get to us. Our location, however, remains remote. Which is, after all, what makes us special.
