Our Story

The forest is our home, a source of freedom that inspires us to live better and strive for harmony. Every step in the forest gives the feeling of freedom, and we want to share this with you.

We're Theresa and Tomasz, the people behind all the experiences at Wild Out

Just a few years ago, we were busy city dwellers – Theresa, a film industry professional in Finland, and Tomasz, a top restaurant chef in Poland. We worked with passion, but amidst all the hard work, we lost ourselves. Thankfully, our passion also woke us up to see life with fresh eyes. We realized we needed a change, and we were ready to make it.

We found our place and each other in the Finnish nature

The silence, peace, and diverse beauty of the forests of Finland inspired us to a new way of life. We met in the forest and learned to know ourselves and each other there. Wild Out is the continuation of this journey.

We are both certified wilderness guides and have been working as guides in the Ruka-Kuusamo area since 2020.

We want to offer you an alternative, authentic way to experience the North

At the heart of our work is calmness, memorable experiences, safety, nurturing our relationship with nature, and appreciating nature.
Theresa about Tomasz

"Tomasz is a caretaker. He enjoys spoiling others with his delicious food and beautiful handicrafts. He is intensely passionate and has a deep respect for the natural world. With an openness he observes himself and the world around which leads him closer to the solutions and a peaceful mind."

TOMASZ LOVES: Woodwork, rock climbing, cooking and learning about history. Angry Birds is also cool.

Tomasz about Theresa

"Tessa is looking at the world in a way that I have never seen before. She is able to see details and beauty in things which I normally just pass by. She is crazy about birds, arts, patterns in branches made by wood bugs, our dog Siida and of course me. 🙂"

TESSA LOVES: observing birds, reading books about nature and philosophy, making jewelry and handicrafts, rock climbing and running.

Looking back on this experience, I can only say that I truly experienced authentic Finnish life.
