My Experiences of Finnishness

Thoughts on Finnishness by TAMK Students

I'm glad to be Finnish

Let's tackle the positive aspects of Finland that make me feel glad I live here.

Finnishness

Here is a glimpse into what "Finnishness" has come to mean to me through the eyes of someone born and raised in the heart of South Asia.

The Land of Thousand Lakes

Finland is often called the "Land of a Thousand Lakes" because of the country's vast number of lakes. I never really thought it was anything special until I started traveling more myself.

Accidentally Finnish

I'm not going to lie, it feels a bit weird trying to write a post about Finnishness as someone who's from a country with a very similar culture. But there are some things in everyday life I've noticed which feel more Finnish than others.

Why Finland Feels Like the Right Place to Live

Finland is often described as one of the best countries in the world to live in, and for good reason. Growing up here has shown me how trust, fairness, and well-functioning systems shape everyday life and make Finland a safe and reliable place to call home.

Small Acts, Strong Minds

Finnishness is not always easy to explain, but it can be felt in everyday moments. In this post, I reflect on what makes Finnish culture special to me.
