Finland
Sisu, Sauna and Sibelius
Finland
Sisu is hard to translate, it refers to a unique blend of determination, resilience, and courage in the face of adversity
Finland is famous for several unique aspects of its culture, history, and natural beauty, but the Saunas… Finland is known for its sauna culture, with millions of saunas across the country. It’s a significant part of Finnish lifestyle and tradition.
Other notable goodies we intend to indulge in is a visit to Santa Claus, take in the Northern Lights, and of course the food culture.

Helsinki, my first Nordic city in my first Nordic Country
Stepping into Helsinki feels like uncovering a well-kept Nordic secret. The city seamlessly blends modern minimalism with timeless traditions, offering visitors a refreshing and inspiring escape. I found myself enchanted by the crisp sea breeze, the soothing rhythm of trams gliding along cobbled streets, and the inviting glow of cafes where locals sip their coffee in no rush at all.
