I’ve been to Finland three months ago. Surprisingly I won’t gush how much this country enthralled me, because there is more than that. I felt simply connection with the people and the place. I’m from Central Europe and I love Czech Republic, my home country, but this was similar and totally different at the same time. Never happenned to me while abroad and I sincerely hope to return back soon. Well, I wouldn’t mind spending longer time there :-)
Lapland sounds magical to me. I’m interested in the old myths and legends of Kalevala. I’m poet by nature and this place gave me a lot of inspiration so why not to visit it and experience on my own?
