About SaunaSherpa
Sauna has been my weekly pleasure since a toddler as it is practically for every Finn.
I would like to share with you my extensive experience and study of the sauna culture in Finland and neighbouring countries of Sweden, Estonia along other Baltic states and Russia. You will find a vast variety of sauna experiences such as Finnish sauna, Russian banya, savvusann in Võrumaa, musta kyly in White Carelia, pirtis in Lithuania, bastu in Sweden or pirts in Latvia.
As a sweat nerd, I have gained a membership in many sauna societies. When I entered the Vaskiniemi, the Sauna House of the Finnish Sauna Society for the first time, on the 9th of Dec in 1997, I had no idea where the world of sauna would take me. My other 'sauna home' in addition to Vaskiniemi is Rajaportin sauna, home base of the Sauna Society of Pispala. Rajaportti is the oldest working public sauna, est. in 1906. It is an absolute pearl of Tampere's sauna scene with a unique atmosphere. As I am fortunate to have a lifetime membership, I visit Rajaportti regularly.
