Finland

Finland had been on my bucket list for a few years, so when we finally had the chance to go during the wintertime, I could not say no! Finland is an extraordinarily beautiful country. Not only is it full of amazing landscapes and delicious food, but the Finnish people are very proud of their culture and it’s extremely evident everywhere you turn! It quickly skyrocketed to one of my favorite countries to visit in the world.
