My experience of living in Finland
I have lived my whole life in Finland and the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about my life in Finland is safety and a clean enviroment. Especially after travelling in different countries you realise that safety and a clean enviroment should not be taken for granted. Also the second thing when thinking of my life here is gratefulness to have a privilige to free education and many other good things.
Finnish people
When I think about some similarities in finnish people I think the first thing that comes to my mind is honesty and helpfulness. Stereotypically finnish people seem introverted, but I feel like once you get to know them finnish people are usually very kind and trustworthy.
Finnish culture
To me finnish culture is strongly about nature and peace. My favorite holidays in Finland are christmas and midsummer, they really have been the highlights of my childhood and I love the traditions that come with them for example the traditional foods on christmas and the midsummers at the summer cottage. If there is something I would like for a foreigner to experience in Finland its the traditional christmas foods or a midsummer in a summer cottage.
