Aino-Marja Miettinen (1987)

About me
I’m an arts manager living and working in Helsinki. I was born and raised here and the city is my true love. I grew up in the suburbs and have made a home in the Kallio district now.

Even though Helsinki is where I belong, I’ve also lived abroad for long periods of time. Exploring new cities by foot is probably my favorite hobby, and I know how valuable tips from locals can be when traveling.

Why Helsinki?
Helsinki is big enough to have something happening all the time and to get lost in, but small enough so that when you walk out the door you will surely run into a friend if you want to.

Like its residents, the mood of Helsinki changes according to the seasons. During the summer, it’s buzzing with life and all the green parks become living rooms for anyone to enjoy. In winter time, it’s a place for warm encounters indoors, at cafés and friends’ homes.
