Finland for me is the best place an earth. We have everything one could possibly need to live a healthy and wealthy life. There is free education and healthcare. We have great welfare and clean nature. Anybody can choose anything they want to do with their life and you really can have it all. Of course we have pretty high taxes and a lot of rules but when compared to almost any other country in the world, we have it good in Finland.
When I think of finland, three things come to my mind straight away.
- Sauna
Sauna is the absolute number one thing that comes to my mind when I think of Finland. I have been going to sauna ever since I was a baby and it is just relaxing. There is no other place in the world where you can get the same feeling than what you get from a sauna. I don’t think of it as a relic or the eighth wonder of the world. It is just a sauna but important for me and I like to relax in one.
- Winter sports
The second thing to come in my mind is winter sports. Whether it is ice hockey, skiing, ski jumping, I like to watch them all. Of course I have done sports my whole life and had these winter sports as hobbies but I think also a lot of other Finns like to watch them cause it is something we are good at (or at least used to be).
- Nature
Nature is so pure and clean in Finland and it is different compared to the places I have been. There are a lot of lakes, thick forest and a little lighter forest. It is a place where you can go relax and get away from the city. Also, nature is close everywhere you are, even if you are in the city it is a maximum of 1 hour drive away and you’re so deep in the forest you might get lost!
Overall Finland has it good and I hope it stays that way. Even though I might move abroad someday again, Finland will always be a home for me.
