Life as a Finn
When you have lived in Finland all your whole life, you don't really think about what it means to be a Finn. Life goes on without it. Still, it is really interesting to learn the differences between other cultures and human behaviors.

My experience in Finland and experiencing Finnishness have been something I would consider unique. Finland feels different, yet the similar to any other European country I lived in or even just visited. I feel both at home and a stranger here. I hope through my text I managed to offer a glimpse of my thoughts.
When thinking about Finnishness, three words come to my mind: Sauna, Silence, and Space.
