We've made it to FINLAND! 🇫🇮 The main purpose of our European winter trip was to experience a TRUE winter. And let's just say, Finland delivered on that front! And to kick things off, we spent a couple days in the country's capital of Helsinki! We spent two days exploring the city, plus trying a bunch of local Finnish foods for the first time.
