I'm a YouTuber and freelance Director of Photography originally from Finland and now based out of Toronto, Canada.
Inspire, Travel, Learn is the foundation for much of what I do. I enjoy inspiring people through my films, traveling to new places, and sharing what I've learned with other filmmakers.
Some of my experience includes working with some global brands such as Nike, San Pellegrino, Epidemic Sound, Rhino, and Visit Norway.
I'm married to my lovely wife Princess, and I'm a new father to my son Kai.

Starting as a YouTube channel, I originally created the Travel Feels channel in 2016 as a creative outlet to feature my cinematic travel videos.
I quickly recognized that there was also a fast growing filmmaker community on YouTube with the likes of Ben Brown, Casey Neistat, and others— a community that I felt I could be a part of and contribute to.
So in January 2017 I decided to begin sharing my filmmaking know-how, experience, and tips for the YouTube community on my Travel Feels channel.
Since then, I've become a full time YouTuber and changed my channel from Travel Feels to my name - Matti Haapoja.
I've been amazed of how quickly my YouTube channel has grown, the people I've met, and the positivity the viewers are showing.
I'm excited for what is to come in the future!
