Finland is often called the "Land of a Thousand Lakes" because of the country's vast number of lakes. I never really thought it was anything special until I started traveling more myself.
I'm not going to lie, it feels a bit weird trying to write a post about Finnishness as someone who's from a country with a very similar culture. But there are some things in everyday life I've noticed which feel more Finnish than others.
When I think about Finnishness, I see values and habits that are completely different from my own. Finland gave me calmness for a while, but at the same time, I felt like I was living in a world that didn’t belong to me.
What does it mean to be Finnish? For me, Finnishness is a unique mix of silence, nature, sauna, honesty, and perseverance. These small but powerful aspects shape how we live, think, and interact with the world.
