Was thinking of camping /staying in hostels, maybe going to church services, talking with the waiter at a cafe maybe. I'd like to think a Fin on a rural road would be open to conversation.

I assume you've been there - what was your experience?
I am white, pic related is my flag, and my grandfather fought under it. I hate seeing mudslimes wearing the maple leaf.

Are you a virgin?

I would be if a 5/10 insecure girl didn't take pity on me in grade 10 and make the first move by writing me a heart ful letter when school finished for the year and then 7 months later ask for sex when I hadn't even masturbated yet at 15 years of age

Finland is a really boring and expensive country, it's really not a country to visit because there's not a lot to see. You'll think 'YEAH I'LL GO HELSINKI, TURKU, PORI, VAASA, JYVASKYLA, OULU, ROVANIEMI, WOW SO FAR NORTH MUST BE AMAZING, LAHTI YEAH!' and all these cities are the same. Add to that that Finns have no culture, and it's a boring place to go

This sounds harsh, but there is truth to it. I'm a Britfag, living in Finland for 8 years. I'd definitely encourage people to visit here, but only for the nature. The cities are all pretty much the same, and Finland doesn't really have much history.

However, the Finns are friendly, even if they don't really appear so to outsiders. I have done a lot of hitch-hiking around Finland and met some very interesting and kind, friendly people.

So, OP, please do come to Finland. You'll enjoy walking and hitch-hiking and camping. All are VERY easy to do here.

If you do go to Finland either stay in the south, ie. Helsinki, Turku and the Archipelago/Åland or go north to Lapland and hike. There's nothing but shit in between.

Maybe if you stick to the wilderness. People long for a tech detox here as well.

Hey OP,

I took my first long trip between my sophomore and junior years of university, when I was 19. I worked a couple of delivery jobs to get my finances in order, flew off to Istanbul, and spent about four months bouncing around Turkey, Greece, northern Iraq, the Caucuses, and India. The next summer I hitchhiked around Iceland, flew to Scotland, and then thumbed most of the way from London to Istanbul before carrying on to India and living there for some time.

I've traveled a fair amount since then. For my first two trips, I did my best to leave technology behind. On the second, I even went so far as leaving my smartphone behind. I had an amazing time, made a lot of new friends, and perhaps most importantly, really learned to start believing in myself. All the places I've gone and things I've done over the last three years have built my confidence and people skills tremendously.

As others have said, I don't know if Scandinavia is the best place to try and get out of your bubble. But honestly, the most important thing to do is step outside of your comfort zone, take some risks, and put yourself into new and strange situations which force you to be social and find novel ways to interact with others.

The culmination of my travels has led me from being a hardcore autismo sperglord (I couldn't even sit at the same table as a girl in my last year of high school; I'd get up and go eat in the hallway or bathroom) to somebody with friends in plenty of countries, a healthy and varied sexual history, and a now 1.5-year old relationship.

Also, please keep the stupid /pol/ and /int/ banter off /trv/.
