Teachers can enjoy a high quality of life, a strong emphasis on work-life balance, and the opportunity to engage with Finland’s unique culture, including its famous saunas and vibrant festivals. Finland, a Nordic country in Northern Europe, is characterized by its vast forests and numerous lakes. Its extensive coastline along the Baltic Sea is dotted with thousands of islands, the largest being Åland. The interior is dominated by the Finnish Lakeland, a region with over 180,000 lakes and countless interconnected waterways. The terrain is generally flat to gently rolling, with the highest point, Halti, located in the far north on the border with Norway. Finland experiences a cool temperate climate, with cold winters and mild summers. Its northernmost regions experience the midnight sun in summer and polar night in winter.
