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.

My Finnishness

When I think about Finland, the first things to come to my mind are the beautiful nature and the sullen but also tenacious people of it. I am very proud to call myself a Finn and to be part of the Finnish culture.

Finnishness

To be Finnish is to embody a unique cultural identity, a fusion of nature's embrace, resilience in the face of adversity, and an unwavering commitment to social equality. It's a celebration of saunas, an appreciation for silence, and a deep connection to traditions like Midsummer. Being Finnish means carrying a legacy of innovation and design, cherishing strong social bonds, and taking pride in a nation that harmoniously blends modernity with a rich cultural heritage. This is the essence of being Finnish.
