Finland

Finland is a land of islands and has more than any other country in the world. Nearly seventy per cent of its area is populated by forests and roughly ten per cent is covered by water. This makes Finland a haven to fishermen, cross-country skiers and mountain-bikers. During the relatively short summer months, people like to unwind at traditional wooden cottages, passing the time with some fishing or leisurely swimming before partaking in a sauna, and even a glass of kossu (Finnish vodka).
