When I think about Finnishness I think about freedom and nature. Finland is a free country where everybody can express themselves freely.
Finnish nature is one of a kind and we are lucky we get to experience the four seasons. Sometimes we take these things for granted. Every time I travel somewhere for a longer period of time and think that I’m so over with Finland, soon I realise that Finland is the greatest place to live in. Even though the darkness sometimes is unbearable the sun always comes up. Finnish summers are unbelievable. When in the winter the sun doesn’t come up, in summer it never goes down.

Finnishness is calmness and safety. Finnish people are calm, laid back and respectful. Finnish people may seem a little shy but when you get to know them they really open up
.
I think Finnish lifestyle is full of time with family and friends, sports, enjoying the nature and it also is quite work oriented. We take education seriously and we appreciate our education system. On weekends we take it easy after a long work or study week and if there wasn’t a worldwide pandemic going on you would probably find us at a bar on a Saturday night. And we really can’t forget the sauna that is a really big part of Finnishness.
Afterall I can say that I have a real appreciation for Finland and our culture.
