Sometimes you have to take your own time and go on a journey where you and your mental and physical well-being are the main focus. What do you need? Mindfulness, peace or, in appropriate proportions, both? Oulu is of course the best destination for a baa trip, because 'baa' is 100% Oulu.
Not a honeymoon, but a b-day trip!

Heat adds a gentle
An experience. It's a word that means different things to different people. It can be an evening of pampering in the sauna, something that gets your heart rate up, a tricky brain puzzle to solve as a group, or a little day trip or tour. Whatever it is, however, it always means gentleness to yourself.

Get off!
So, disengagement is doing something out of the ordinary. In Oulu, it's a good thing to let go, as the locals here are pretty laid-back too. Do you find your own escape on the dance floor or maybe in the stands of an event?
How about these?
Oh, me?
A more profound journey into the self is spent in the company of oneself, in the midst of nature, peace and quiet. In autumn nature, you can still go hiking if you have the right equipment, enough food in your rucksack and your spirits are high.

Shall we put it in the home package?
The best thing about eating alone is that you don't have to share food with anyone. The best thing about eating in a group is that you get to share the experience with others. You eat what you eat on your very own me-too trip and then take the rest home. Even for breakfast!
Find something to eat
Find yourself in the fitting room
Perhaps your baa-trip will include a stylistic change? Imagine yourself in a teen movie style montage scene and test all the craziest ideas! Grab a new kind of you from Oulu's bountiful shopping offer.
