Finnishness as an International student

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.

Finland, My Home

I’ve lived abroad and seen the world, but no place feels like home quite like Finland.

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.

Finnishness

What does Finnishness mean to me? For me, Finnishness means peace, lots of nature, and sauna.

Finnishness

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.

My Experience of Finnishness

What makes Finland special? Think endless lakes, deep forests, four different seasons, and a culture that values silence as much as saunas.

The Four Seasons and the Essence of Finnish Life

When people move to Finland, they often describe our culture as unique, peaceful, and deeply rooted in nature. For me, the concept of "Finnishness" is closely linked to the rhythm of the seasons, the connection to the outdoors, and the sense of security that are part of everyday life.

Finding Finnishness in Nature

Finnishness is often deeply connected to nature. For many, the forests, lakes, and changing seasons offer a sense of peace and balance. As people grow and experience the contrasts between busy city life and the calm of nature, they begin to understand how important nature is to Finnish identity and culture.

Nature as a part of Finnish life

Because life and cities here in Finland are surrounded by nature, plays nature a big role in Finnish lifestyle and identity.

Finnishness from one point of view

Finnishness is a diverse concept that reflects the history, culture and values of the Finnish people. It extends from the beauty of northern nature to Finnish traditions and a strong social structure.
