Coming from a country where sunrise and sunset follow almost the same rhythm throughout the year, Finland’s dramatic contrast between day and night was shocking at first but also exceptional. The extremes force you to slow down, to notice time, and to adapt.
I’ve lived abroad and seen the world, but no place feels like home quite like Finland.
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.
This is a story of how I was healed by the nature in Finland
Finnishness, the love for beautiful nature, winter sports and sauna.
What does Finnishness mean to me? For me, Finnishness means peace, lots of nature, and sauna.
Living in Finland is a unique and great experience, and a lot of people don’t realise how lucky they are to be there until they move away. The same thing happened to me, and now I fully understand all the advantages I got during my time there, and I can spread them further.
Our unique Finnish nature, culture and four different seasons. These things make Finland important to me.
What makes Finland special? Think endless lakes, deep forests, four different seasons, and a culture that values silence as much as saunas.
The beauties and hardships of moving to Finland.
