When I ask myself, what’s the best thing about Finland, all I can think about is how beautiful and peaceful our country is. There are so many places in the world where safety is not guaranteed like it is in here.
I think most Finnish people are calm, polite and helpful, which really culminates the feeling you get when you live in Finland:
Nothing too sparkly, but safe and familiar.
I really enjoy the nature in all four seasons, how it changes the views and how the air smells. Mind is at peace when you get to walk your dog around forests and lakes just a few steps from your home.
Nature, in my opinions, is the best and most important aspect in Finnishness. We appreciate our land and we nurture it, we have countless amazing hiking routes across the country and every city is left with plenty of trees and parks.
If there’s one thing that Finns can talk with each other, strangers or not, it’s the weather. Very few conversations end up without a mention or two about current too cold/hot weather, amount of snow/rain or the lack of it. That is actually the first annoying thing that comes to mind when thinking negative things about the people in Finland, constant complains about things that are next to meaningless. Oh here I’m complaining as well, time to shut up.
