I think Finland is the happiest country by many reasons but I think big part of it is our society, free education, free healthcare, free housing, no stress = happy, no worries = happy, you feel safe = happy. Very low crime also and you are always safe even if you loose your job. Also Finland is more free than USA, if you are poor you can't do university in America, in Finland you can. Humans are supposed to walk in a forest, we have done that 10k+ years. Yea we all do it sometimes, hard to avoid actually. It's not a one thing, this hole country is build around the idea of "hyvinvointivaltio" = welfare country. I don't think coffee has any effect, it's just coincidence like finns also drink a lot and that's negative overall. I don't drink and I drink 1 cup of coffee ever morning, no other caffeine, also no soda, no sugar, no dairy, no means I can do them in parties or things like that but not as addiction or routine. Alcohol is only one which is no even in parties.

I'm Danish, and I would live i Cph if I could afford it. Even Århus the next biggest city (wich you absolutely should visit the next time) is expensive. I'll have to stick to lesser cities, but that's not too bad either.

Adidas's 3 stripes were bought from an finnish company =)

They are killing themselves with happiness. Then why Finland has one of the highest suicide rates in the world???They probably appear to be happy but inside they must be rotten depressed and lonely.

Only just found your channel this morning. Liked and subscribed. I'll folllow your journey now. That was awesome. Loved that. Many hikers are suffering with depression and it really helps being outdoors. I'm a small CZcamsr from Wales👋 Hi😁 I'm so glad you haven't done the ones in Wales yet. There is so much here. The Brecon Beacons National Park is amazing. So many mountains and waterfalls. I have beento many and fairly recently started to record and share my walks. It's difficult because I was never on any social media and still on CZcams. I'm not good with technology at all, but trying to learn. It's helped me so much exporing. Your videos are happy and beautiful. On the Brecon Beacons we have quite a few plane crash sites from 1940s many were sadly Canadian crew. You might want to visit them when you are here. One has a big story all because a photo was found in 2005 on the mountain. I've filmed 3 of them. If you are busy just have a look at my shorts for perhaps places in Wales. Tomorrow I am doing the Welsh 3 peaks. I start at Pen y fan about 4am then 2 hours drive Cadair Idris, 2 hours drive to Snowdon. I should be tired at the end. I might then find a small mountain and camp there or a little bothy. Hoping to see the sun set. Saturday I'll go to Aber falls there and another mountain and the same again. I will sleep on mountain and swim and wash in the lakes😁 Good times! 💪 Thank you for your encouraging happy videos. Made my day today. Keep smashing it!💪💪 All the best. Jamie👋❤️

Amazing! Smash it!💪💪

Beautiful story 👍

Awesome. You get about a bit😁👋

Glad your mother is well now. Looks a great adventure👌😁❤️

Brilliant 👏👏👌

Happy girl🤣😁👏👏

Thing about Copenhagen is, it is super expensive but if you know where and when to look there are so many events and things you can do for free. Just as an example Glyptoteket a sculpture and art gallery is open to the public for free the last Wednesday of each month. There is a place called Vartov (a sort of library) that has this cool event for 50kr (about 8 dollars) where you get free Gin and Tonic and silent reading for an hour. There are some cafes that have cool events like chess tournaments, knitting club etc. I think this goes for any city but be on the watch for events.

Places like Copenhagen is why I am so confused by people fighting against environmentalism, sustainability, building for people, design, etc. Almost no one coming to Copenhagen will claim they didn't feel better, calmer, happier and more stimulated than in the average metropolis, and there is no secret to why Copenhagen is how it is and how to get there, but once one tries to move in that direction so many people start fighting against it.

Hi im Finnish!

You were in Drammen I believe. What can I do with all those points?

Lol, all the variables have taken a down turn. When talking about economy growth and wealth there is none in Finland, just high taxing and sell-off of assets and resources. Corruption does exist, but in Finland it's built in the system. Happiness is lifestyle and nature, not the social system. Who has their wealth, health or happiness tied to the system will eventually lose it, many already have.

Its the little things in life that really make a difference. Fishing is a great example of it; Started fishing with my work mates during the summer and we also go ice fishing during the winter. Doesnt matter if you dont catch anything, its just relaxing and fun thing to do. Sauna and sauna at a peaceful lake summer cottage is perfection. Take ice cold Lonkero with you and youve basically hit the peak of life. Also the best thing about being a Finn and living in Finland is that you can actually go about in your day without having to small talk your way each moment you see a neighbor or whatever. If you dont actually care about my day, dont pretend to.

The real reason is that depressed people keep killing themselves

I fucking hate ice fishing. So boring. But it must be fun for newbies.j From Finland, St.Michel.

Wow nice ✨

I wish they would stop using the happiest word when ranking the countries. Maybe most content people in the world. Also I can assure you that there are also quite a bit of issues going around in Finland about which people are not that happy about.

End of video comment: I'm really impressed with your effort, and I really appreciate it, but some of the things you didn't like where things you did wrong. Watch the rest of the comment for details. 2:37 Our breakfasts are *slightly* fancier. Like having some paprika or ham or something on top of the butter. Often some cheese too. But yeah, two slices of bread and coffee or milk is pretty accurate for a Norwegian breakfast. End of video edit: Basically topping should be protein, fat and some other nutrients like vitamins, while the bread provides carbohydrates, especially starches that together with the fat helps you keep going through the day. Also, your body adapts to what you give it, if you don't give it tooo much during the day it'll cut down on what it uses too. 3:18 Don't worry, you nailed it. :-) 4:37 When you combine outdoor activity with the cold we do tend to add a little bit of snack. Think nuts, raisins and perhaps a little bit of butter or chocolate or both. It's not intended as a full meal but to add energy when pushing yourself in the cold. You just add a little bit over time as you feel like you need it. It's not intended to fill you as much as just keep you going. Also, remember that we typically have four meals a day, so we still have some remains of our evening meal in our stomach when eating breakfast. And while two slices of bread is typical if you expect a lot of physical activity adding a third slice or eating some porridge isn't unheard of. 6:45 That's *not* a typical Norwegian lunch. Warm porridge might be a thing for breakfast if you expect a lot of activity. But for lunch we're talking bread with butter and a topping again. Between 2 and 4 slices depending on expected activity level. Often two different toppings, so one or two slices with one topping and one or two with another. 14:12 Yeah, you're not supposed to browse for nature videos, slow TV is something made *for* you. Also, your facial expression clearly shows that this does *not* qualify as "kos" for you. So, yes, you where doing it wrong. Not because sitting down and watching slow TV *can't* be kos, sometimes a couple of people might sit down in front of a slow TV broadcast and just small talk while enjoying it, drinking something hot, perhaps snacking a little bit, perhaps knitting. Does that make sense? You don't just sit alone and watch random CZcams videos of nature while feeling miserable... 14:52 Well, you did our meals totally wrong, so I'm not surprised that it didn't work for you. Start with a small evening meal the day before, perhaps two slices of bread, and don't have your dinner too late so you're full by evening meal time. Then have something on top of the bread other then just butter. You should have proteins and fat for the toppings while the bread provides carbohydrates. And for lunch you just do bread with toppings again. *Then* a hearty dinner, before a light evening meal. Some extra snack on trips and weekend evenings is permitted.

Hello! if you ever are in Trondheim area I would happily be showing you the tourist huts in SYLAN mountain area, suck as ( Neadalshytta, storerikvollen and ramsjøhytta) also we could walk over to Sweden and visit Sylstasjonen. the national park is called (Skarvan and Roltdalen) and is in my opinion unique compared to other Norwegian nationalparks.

Problem is that who ever foreigner makes theese videos in Finland, they are allways only made for views. Places where streamers go are just tourist traps, no one finnish does what streamers or other tourists do. Ok, maby fishing and snow angels with sauna, but thats it. Wellcome streamers, but please don't go traps, go where tourists don't usually. Save money and see real beauty. Thousands lakes cruice in east maby. Finland is more than Lappland in winter or so boring Helsinki.

Hello!! I really really enjoyed watching your vlog. I must say you are the cutest and most beautiful vlogger ever. I will subscribe. Im coming to Dublin for the first later this year. I wanna see more videos and you are super awesome!

Eh. I was there with you!! Lucky me

Greetings from the Canary Islands! Tromsø is nice (half of the year!). Food, however, isn't the most tempting part of visiting, or immigrating to, Norway. There are some exceptions, though, but they are typically expensive, sometimes *_very_* expensive, restaurants. Personally, I very much like the food on the Hurtigruten ferries to and from Tromsø. (When I can afford it, that is.) Regarding slow TV, ...it's actually something I like to do when I need to unwind, or can't sleep or something. I watch long videos on CZcams taken from train driver's cabs. I love comparing how a railway line looks in different seasons. However, Norwegian train lines are not the very best, as many of them have far too many, and long, tunnels. And the tunnels are very boring. Nice video!

6 meseci sam živio u Bergenu i sad bi se vratio i oženio bih Norvežanku pomozite mi lep sam i dobra osoba ❤❤❤

As a Finn I can let you on a secret that keeps us on the top of the list. Unhappy people self-uninstall and its considered the traditional way to go. There. Go be happy. Also the three locations you picked for your travel are the ones I would pick too, but also places where the lifestyle and daily experience are vastly different from the ~85% of the population.

Only children, drunk teens and tourists are rolling in the snow 😂 Ice fishing is popular, but most of finnish aren’t doing that, because… it is so boring. Cold exposing is not a thing here in Finland and the situation is actually opposite; we are trying to stay as warm as possible. And those animal tracks weren’t by rabbits. Those were hare tracks. Anyway - the most important thing that we have in Finland is lack of scary things. Nature doesn’t try to kill us, other humans doesn’t try to kill us, the police doesn’t try to kill us etc. And after, or with, that security one can enjoy nature or a cup or three of coffee.

As a former Finn and proud naturalized citizen of the USA, this whole Happiness Thingy is screwed up. It measures Govt Socialist programs, not the actual happiness. NO ONE IS HAPPY IN FINLAND (Unless they are Socialist Party members or associated with them == MONEY). I love my home country, as it is the most beautiful in the world, but living under Socialist fascism does not bode well with me. So off I went couple of decades ago, and I am infinitely happier in the US. Haters can type responses, but I know your type. I lived in FIN for 27 years after all. So, stuff it.

So cool this video! Good luck with your project and Cheers from Porto, Portugal! ;)

Nice one , really enjoyed your video. Take care 🌷

6:28 might be the most Canadian I've ever heard you sound 😂😁👌

Nice video. How much was the taxi please?

It is actually the political system. Finland is for the people of Finland much more than for example my country Sweden. Sweden is built for the elit much more than Finland. To be poor in Sweden is dangerous. It is certain rules that govern how people Will be helped but many do not fit how those rules think about people life surcumstances so if you are beside or inbetween those rules nobody help you. That is not the case in Finland. It is a much more humane society . I could say more examples but I dislike talking to much about the negative aspects of my country. I hope change is comming.

Great you visited Finland, my home country, I love my home but also am blessed to have 2 other citizenships. I miss the snow, the language and people, but i will be back sooner or later!

Magical Natasha, it’s still my dream to move to Norway and it was your trip to Bergen that switched me onto your wonderful channel, big love to you x

If you are in Norway and want to swatch some slow -TV , I recommans 'Hurtigruten' ( 2010) or 'Svalbard'(2020)

that wasn't a typical breakfast. Usually we have choices between oatmeal, cheese, makrell i tomat, red peppers/ paprika and cucumber , meat topping and laks.

Happiness can be found in nature anywhere in the world

I'm glad you enjoyed your time in our wonderful country. My kids also adore highland cows!

I'm quite dissapointed that they didn't teach you the ice the proper fishing techniques. Lessons Finland can teach you: 1) Ok is enough 2) Sauna is life 3) Day spend in a nature is a good day

Finnish happiness is being content. No more, no less.
