New type of tourism marketing by VisitFinland

Finland is a country where things are based on nature and old mythology. Even people’s names are inspired by the woods, animals and mythological characters. Have a try and find your inner Finn by changing your name. My new name is Tapio Lehtinen: Tapio — An ancient king of the forest and Lehtinen — Leafy.
