    This was such a fun trip with 2 of my sisters! I wish all the family could go back together, rent a big cabin, and chill by the lake for a long time. Do you have big family vacations? Have you ever visited Finland or even known about this tiny country?

    Beautiful country, beautiful culture. I am astonished though to see that your house has no shutters on the windows. Only glass windows, is it enough to stop a burglar or an intruder. I would not sleep well at night.

      Yes, Finland is a beautiful country for sure! The windows in the cabin did have light curtain that we never actually pulled across the windows :) The bedroom I did use the curtains. We were so remote that really no one was around. I felt very safe while we were there.

    Lol so many people want to visit (or even stay), too many if you ask me. 😝 I'm here myself atm (Finn living abroad since a long time) and Helsinki is full of tourists and foreigners.

    • @AnneliSchmidt
      @AnneliSchmidt  3 месяца назад +1

      You're so right! It has changed quite a bit over the years. Back in the early 1980's when my family moved back to Helsinki it was totally different. I've noticed an increase in interest about Finland over the past few years and I'm wondering if the "sauna" and cold plunge craze that's hit north America has anything to do with it! Thank you for commenting!

      @@AnneliSchmidt I think the "happiest country in the world" thing is one reason, but what people fail to understand (and why they might get disappointed) is that happiness is highly subjective and depends very much on what your own background is. I mean, if you are from let's say a place where the climate is warm, the food is spicy, the people are super social etc, you might feel unhappy in Finland. BUT if you're ok with cold weather, like pure simple food, are introverted and appreaciate personal space, you might love it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I myself belong to the "love it" group but then again I'm Finnish. Lol.

      Yes! Very true. When I was in Finland last April, I was expecting cold weather, and we ended up having the most beautiful, almost summer-like weather. I brought all the wrong clothes with me! I live in B.C. Canada and it's extremely expensive here, so I can relate to high prices too. Are you from Finland?

    • @Jonra1
      @Jonra1 Год назад +1

      It's more about the costs. Finland is a very expensive country, it might be worth a one off trip, but I can't see it ever being a place where people would visit regularly as a tradition. This coming from a native Finn. If you make friends with locals, it will become more reasonable ofc, but even as a native living abroad, the main reason I do not visit my homeland often is just the costs. Norway and Switzerland are bit similar.

    • @AnneliSchmidt
      @AnneliSchmidt  Год назад

      I can see that. I find where I live the cost of living is even higher without all the infrastructure that you have in Finland. So it’s probably relative to where you currently live. Thanks for watching and commenting!! 💕
