Hey, hope you guys are doing great! I have a question. Everyone in Finland is Emphasizing a lot on "Finnish Nature". How different is it from Indian? Nature is also quite accessible in India as well(more in southern part) how does Finnish Nature differs?

Hi there! Thanks for your comment and very good question. Finland is indeed known for its emphasis on nature and living a life close to nature. While India also has beautiful natural spots, nature in both countries are quite distinctive. One notable difference is the abundance of forests and lakes in Finland. About 75% of the country is covered in forests, making it one of the most forested countries in Europe. These forests are home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, and they provide great opportunities for hiking, camping, and enjoying the tranquility of nature. Finland also has thousands of lakes, which are an integral part of the Finnish landscape. The lakes offer breathtaking views, and they are perfect for various water activities like swimming, boating, and fishing. In fact, Finland is often called the "land of a thousand lakes." Another unique aspect of Finnish nature is the presence of the Northern Lights which attracts visitors from around the world. Moreover, Finland experiences distinct seasons, each offering its own charm. India, on the other hand, has very rich biodiversity due to the country's tropical climate. Both countries share a special connection with nature in their own unique way.

​@@couple_of_expats I would only add that the climates are very different resulting to weather conditions, which - at least for those used to dressing up for the weather - make outdoors more tolerable. I am here mainly thinking about extreme weather situations, which seem to be more common in India. Perhaps Nordic winters are extreme from Indian perspective, but they mostly aren't for Nordic people. Do you agree?
