If you let a Finn name one thing you HAVE to do in the summer, it must be going to the summer cottage.  Of course I can’t miss this.

So Anni, Claudia and I decided to have a girls’ night in Anni’s cottage.  After two hours’ drive on the highway and through the forest, we finally got to this amazing little house.  Everything was so beautifully together, the cozy interior, the gorgeous lake view and the perfect weather.  Well, no wonder Finnish people don’t go out for summer holidays, they don’t have to, seriously. We sat on the terrace to enjoy the beautiful sunset on the lake with smell of the forest, I felt so peaceful deep inside.  Yeah, and of course my first sauna afterwards, super cool!

Then we had a girls’ candle light dinner, talked, my body was a bit tired but I felt so relaxed in my mind.
