Finland
Finland is for the most part a quiet land, where a ramshackle
cottage by a lake and a properly stoked sauna is all that's required
for happiness. It's a vast expanse of forests and lakes and more
forests, punctuated by towns full of people who are genuinely
surprised to see tourists.

What have others said?
I am enjoying my life in Finland very much. It's incredibly
satisfying to look back six months and see the life I have created.
I see a loving family with whom I am sure I have formed a life
long friendship; wonderful friends; a familiarity with a once
completely foreign country - this is something that I think can
ONLY come from living here for an extended period of time; and
some understanding of a new and very unusual language. As well
as this new life, for myself I have gained an understanding and
even an appreciation of just how large and diverse the world
is which allows me to view life back home in Australia with perspective.
