My Experiences of Finnishness

Thoughts on Finnishness by TAMK Students

Exploring Finnishness: A Personal Reflection on Finnish Culture

Living abroad twice has given me a new appreciation for the peace and safety that Finland offers. Although I’ve had the opportunity to experience different cultures, there’s something truly unique about the sense of security and tranquility that defines life in Finland. It’s hard to put into words, but it's the peace in our daily lives, the clean air, the open spaces, and knowing that my whole family is here with me. Finland is more than just a place, it’s where I feel truly at home.

Finnishness - my experience

Finnishness to me is firstly about feeling safe and being grateful about living in such a beautiful country.

Finnishness - a perspective of a double nationalitee

I am 29 year old woman, who has moved to Finland at 6 years old. My first nationality thus is Hungarian. I identify as a hungarian as well as a finnish person. It has been a priviledge to learn two languages when growning up. Finland is a very dear country for me and I consider it to be one of my two homes.
