Finland is definitely worth of visiting. Lapland is wonderful and unique both in summer and in winter. While I currently live on the west coast, I'm truly at home in the Lakeland area: this picture is from my family's summer cottage in Central Finland.

And when it comes to cities, my former home city Turku will always have a special place in my heart :)

That's so so beautiful! I can just picture myself sitting on one of those rocks with my feet in the water. I had to look up the Lakeland's and wow! I found a road I want to drive:
The mother of a friend went to Turku three weeks ago, I'll ask her about it. There was a medieval festival I think when she was there.
I think I'll buy a Lonely Planet guide and highlight places I want to visit. I love planning long advance and just day dreaming about travelling.
Thanks for sharing ☺️

You're welcome :) I've actually been on that road/bridge, the views there are amazing. I've also been in the Turku medieval festival as a volunteer (more specifically at the Turku Castle where I had a summer job that year). I got to wear a medieval dress, though it was very plain and simple; still, it was a very fun day :)
Also the picture of Turku reminds a bit of Chichester (UK) where I used to live. I spend my breaks with friends in the Bishop's Garden's overlooking the cathedral. Good memories.
