🇫🇮 Coming home to Finland reminded us why we do what we do.
Over our visit, we experienced around 20 different saunas - from my sister's outdoor sauna to Finland's best ice swimming spot, from modern apartment saunas to the humble sauna at my mum's house.
Every single one was different. Yet the end result was always the same: more relaxed, calmer humans.
What struck us most? Finns aren't bothered about which wood is used or fancy specifications. What matters is the time spent with loved ones, making connections, and finding deep relaxation after a long day.
No loud music. No performance. Just blissful warmth, quiet chatting about life, and genuine presence.
This is the sauna culture we grew up with. This is what we're bringing to New Zealand - a thousand-year-old tradition of slowing down and just being.
