Steam, Silence, and Something I Did Not Expect

Finland is not a loud country. It does not try to impress you. But the longer you spend here, the more it gets under your skin in the best possible way. Two things have stayed with me the most: the sauna and the silence. Both have taught me something I did not expect to learn.

The Finnish Way

Finland is a beautiful country with a rich culture. This blog post is here to help you understand it a little bit better and hopefully it will inspire you to explore it further. As someone who has moved here, I can only say that I love it more and more as I'm discovering it further.

Finnishness

Finnish culture is often associated with nature, cold winters and sauna. However, Finnishness is much more than that. It includes traditions, cultural values and everyday habits that shape the Finnish lifestyle. In this post I will introduce some key aspects of Finnish culture and explain what they tell about Finnishness.
