It’s always interesting to hear foreigners’ perspectives on Finland. This was a very interesting episode and also served the purpose of introducing me to The Amatuer Traveler Podcast in general. Thanks!
One small correction to what Melissa said. She seemed to pronounce the Finnish word for the Midsummer Festival as “Johannes” whereas it should be “Juhannus”.

Just like PSilvo said it’s always really interesting to hear what people from other countries think about Finland (and I don’t now mean typical “think what they think about us now” kind of way).
It’s funny to notice that things what I have never even noticed so much are somehow interested to somebody from other country =)
