Finland
Finland, my birth place, is a small country in Northern Europe. It’s a Nordic country that shares borders with Russia, Sweden, Norway and Estonia.
We locals call Finland the land of thousands of lakes, and in fact, there are more than 180,000 of them! And if you wish to see either the Northern Lights or the Midnight Sun, we’ve got you covered.
To catch the Northern Lights, it’s best to visit during the winter months and head north to Lapland. There, you can also meet Santa and his reindeer friends, who roam freely in nature. Just remember to bundle up, it’s cold and snowy!
If you want to experience the Midnight Sun, visit Finland in June. Summers are nice and warm. From Helsinki, you can take a ferry to Stockholm or Tallinn, but there’s also plenty to explore within Finland itself.
I especially recommend Turku with its medieval castle, or the charming Old Town of Porvoo.
