My experience of Finnishness

For me, Finnish culture is all about simplicity, honesty, and being close to nature. I noticed that sauna has an important place in Finn’s lifestyle, where they relax and hang out with friends or family. Spending time in forests and by lakes also shows how much Finns respect nature. Even small things, like coffee breaks, are important for taking a pause and connecting with others. Also I noticed that Finns are quite reserved and sometimes it’s hard to build up connections with them. My experiences made me realize that Finnishness is about balance, enjoying simple things, and following traditions that make life calm and meaningful.
