Tarja Rantanen, founder of the Andiata clothing brand, told Koillissanomat how the distinctive nature of Kuusamo has left a lasting impression on her.
Tarja Rantanen has travelled the world and seen many beautiful places, but the tranquility and peace of Kuusamo's nature hold a special place in her heart. Her cabin on the shores of Lake Vuosseli is her favourite retreat, and she especially enjoys spending time in Kuusamo during the summer.

Rantanen confidently describes how the calm waters of Lake Vuosseli, surrounded by green hills and fells, create a postcard-like scene. As she rows across the lake, she is convinced that more people should experience these stunning landscapes. She makes it clear that it is crucial to safeguard the purity and peace of Kuusamo's nature for future generations.
