FINLAND

Although I have visited Helsinki, exploring Finland’s natural wonders is high on my travel bucket list. 

This is a country whose great outdoors is its calling card, with its vast forests and crystal-clear lakes. Finland is one of the best places in the world for Arctic adventures and to chase the elusive Northern Lights.
