Brief Overview: Brief Overview: While sometimes overshadowed

by its neighbors (Russia and Sweden), Finland has a

Scandinavian charm all its own. Its undisturbed lakes and

forests are a legacy of its late industrialization and agrarian

history. Yet in Helsinki and other urban centers, you’ll find a

bustling social democracy and world famous companies –

including Nokia Corporation. The Finnish enjoy top rates of

education, economic competitiveness, civil liberties, quality of

life, and human development compared to the rest of the world.

Finland is truly a winter wonderland, as most of the country is

covered in snow. Santa’s official residence is located in Lapland,

the northernmost province in Finland. The police even have an

official reindeer mascot to advocate for traffic safety! Finland’s

climate has led to the development of a number of winter

sports and outdoor activities. In summer, Finns pursue

hunting, fishing, mushroom gathering and other outdoor

pursuits in their summer homes in the countryside.

Visitors to Finland will notice a hallmark of Finnish culture:

silence. In Finland, it is agreed that if one does not have

something worth saying, it is better to be silent. Words are

chosen carefully and taken at face value. It is an introvert’s

paradise! Don’t worry though – most Finns speak English

and will help foreigners most hospitably!
