How do we tell between what’s alive and what isn’t? If it’s alive it’s always growing. Helsinki Heroes Magazine finds local heroes: real people who inspire us and motivate us to grow, through their unique personalities, pursuits and passion. We feature art, entrepreneurship, sports, gastronomy, and many other activities that make living in the complicatedly awesome Helsinki such a unique experience.
