Welcome.
Hi! I’m Joseann, a passionate tour guide with roots in both Helsinki and Bonn. My love for nature, music, and historical context has shaped my approach to guiding tours in these two charming cities. I aim to offer unique experiences that enrich your stay and go beyond the typical tourist path.
Thank you for visiting and I am looking forward to connecting with you.
My Background
A Love for Nature, Music, and Cycling
With a background in forestry and sustainability, I’ve always had a deep connection to the environment. Whether we're cycling along Helsinki’s scenic waterfront or exploring Bonn’s cobbled streets, I love to combine my passion for the outdoors with my tours. I’m a firm believer that the best way to truly experience a city is on two wheels or two feet!
Music is another love of mine. From Finland’s fascinating and diverse musical life to Bonn’s rich classical heritage, I weave the stories of music and local culture into my tours. Whether it's the sounds of Sibelius and Finnish folk music in Helsinki or Beethoven, Carnival songs and "Lieder" in Bonn, music conveys unique messages and vibes that enrich your experience of the city in many ways!
A Guide with a Personal Touch
I’ve had the privilege of living in both Finland and Germany, and along the way, I mastered the Finnish language—a challenging but rewarding journey! Being fluent in both languages allows me to connect with locals and give you an authentic, insider’s perspective. It's important for me to create experiences that are engaging for you and I tailor them to suit your preferences, just send me a request.
Sustainability at the Core
I’m committed to eco-friendly tourism. Therefore, my tours are designed to minimize environmental impact by focusing on walking, cycling, and using public transportation.
Let’s Explore Together!
I’m here to guide you on an inspiring journey of discovery if this is what you are looking for. Join me as we explore these cities through the lenses of music, culture, history, and the personal stories that shaped them. Let’s create memories, insights, and enjoyable moments—on foot or by bike!
Looking forward to meeting you. Joseann
