What Finnishness is to me

In my opinion, FInnishness is a lot to do with quietness, giving out space and listening to others. There should be no rush in being Finnish.

When I think of what Finnishness means to me, first things come to my mind are Sauna, Quietness, Clean Nature and Peace. There is a reason my Finns are the most happiest people in the world, and I think it all comes back to those things.

I have travelled a lot, and seen different cultures, background and cities. But nothing comes even close to what I experience back in Finland. I rarely experience the feel of rush, I never experience parks and streets being unclean, and I hardly ever encounter a Finn who wouldn’t love to relax in a Sauna. These aspects of life are mandatory for me, and thats what I love about Finland and Finnishness. I think everyone should experience that kind of feeling at least once in their lifetime.
