Hello everyone and nice that you (again) stop by our blog. As I told you in my recent post “On the Sea: Ronny’s Sailing to Finland!”, the show truck and I are currently on the road in Finland. And what can I say: I like it here. Therefore, of course, I need to let the bunch of impressions fully sink in first – especially because we have a few more packed days to discover and soak up ahead of us – but I don’t want to keep you waiting any longer. So, here are my first stops and impressions of the land of lakes and swamps – or Suomi like a local would say.

First of all, hop on and come on the road with me in this video I captured for you:

Three cities, five days on site, and a nap in the show truck

The capital city Helsinki is the first stop for me. There, I spend two days full of functionality checks, set ups, and different kinds of events. These aim to interact with Continental employees, clients, and partners like BestDrive.

After a drive of just over 2.5 hours on day three in Finland, the #ContiEuropeanRoadshow continues in Lappeenranta. Day one in the city – which is, by the way, located about 30 kilometers from the Russian border – first holds a clean out for the show truck and some free time for me to explore. A customer’s event rounds the whole thing off!

The shortest time, compared to the other two cities, I then spend in Turku – about 380 kilometers away. However, the stay is even shorter than originally expected and lets me experience a roadshow premiere by swapping the comfortable hotel bed for the cab of the show truck. And the reason is actually quite simple: departure is already at 2 a.m., so it’s just not worth it.
Where am I heading next? I’ll keep that to myself for now, but this much in advance: More than half of the almost 1000 kilometers through Finland are already behind me and the Power Truck Show is waiting for me there.

Until then – see you on the road,
your Ronny

Since pictures say more than a thousand words, I took a few snapshots for you:
