I don’t think that too many Americans have visited Finland, but I am one of those people!
I went there back in 2003 for a few days when I was doing a backpacking trip with my brother.
One thing I can say for certain is that it was COLD. Why we decided to go to Finland in FEBRUARY is beyond me, but we were young and indestructible…kind of…
Anyway, we enjoyed our time there and we drank a lot of vodka, so everything came up roses. But still, Finland is a unique place that most folks out there don’t know about…
So let’s check out what’s going on on the “Very Finnish Problems” Instagram page to get the inside scoop.
1. Maybe the trade-off would be worth it?
I really don’t like mosquitoes…not gonna lie.
