Finland in general - what to do better next time? What was worth travelling to this Northern part of Europe in November?

She was so welcoming, helpful, amazing and heartwarming person. I definitely will come one day to Finland again.
• One of the best times in my life. Despite the cold and the darkish Friday, as well as a little bit of wind, I would really like to travel there one more time. Probably during the summer time.
• Finland was worth travelling to for sure! Such an eco-friendly society, pure air and breathtaking atmosphere make it highly memorable. A lot of things to do and visit and experience (saunas, sports events and unique architecture). I'd like to come back here. Thank you!
• The weather conditions made me feel quite depressd but the atmosphre of the whole week plus different activities really worth recommending. I find it useful and unforgettable.
• Surprised me how open are the Finns, very helpful, I got to know the culture of the country and compared what I read with reality. I would't change anything.
• The social interaction and all the immersion in the culture was the best part, all the educational procedures were on point with my expectations.
