Finnish nature is so diverse and overlooked by many finns. It is often the moment you leave the country/space when you truly start to appreciate things that you took for granted before. For me this has been the nature, especially the norm of knowing the different species of trees and animals and living together with the 4 strong different seasons. The nature in Finland is so diverse and alive with its vibrant colours and active wildlife.
Some normal things for finns could be sauna time and cold plunging in a hole made in the ice, this relaxes the muscles and pretty much any tension that you have in your body. It is such a lovely activity and it is also so incredibly exotic to foreigners. The humor of Finnish people is a lot similar to the Icelanders, we use a lot of sarcasm and black humour.
I think that Finland is such a lovely place with strong traditions and beliefs, nature and jokes.
