Finland

Finland is a Nordic wonderland where nature, innovation, and happiness come together! Known as the "Land of a Thousand Lakes" (there are actually 188,000 lakes!), Finland is covered with pristine forests, sparkling waterways, and in the north, the Arctic wilderness of Lapland. In winter, thick snow blankets everything, perfect for skiing, ice skating, and building snowmen. In summer, the midnight sun keeps the sky bright even at night, and Finns love spending time at their summer cottages by the lakes.

Finnish culture values education, equality, and a concept called "sisu" - a special kind of courage and determination. Finland is consistently rated one of the happiest countries in the world! Helsinki, the capital, blends modern design with historical charm. But the real magic is in Lapland, home to the Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi, reindeer herding, and spectacular northern lights. Finns also love saunas - there are more saunas than cars in Finland! From delicious cinnamon buns to beautiful nature, Finland shows us how to live in harmony with the environment.
