HELSINKI – Visit Finland - the Finnish travel promotion organisation – is making the most of Finland’s United Nations ranking as the world’s happiest nation for three years in a row.
Rent a Finn goes Virtual is a new social media initiative which
lets people experience the Finns’ natural way of life and daily routines for feeling happier while staying at home.
The campaign picks up from Visit Finland’s global Rent a Finn campaign in 2019. In addition to the live stream series that
will showcase how to Eat with a Finn, or Be Active with a Finn, those seeking a deeper experience can apply for an exclusive one-to-one session with the Virtual Happiness Guides.
“The Rent a Finn campaign of 2019 was a great success, and
during these uncertain times, we want to give people the opportunity to learn about the secrets of Finnish happiness regardless of place or time,” says Paavo Virkkunen, executive director, Visit Finland at Business Finland.

Heli Jimenez, senior director, international marketing at Business Finland, added, “Finnish happiness isn’t skin deep and immediately visible – it’s deeply engrained in our
being. Sustainable happiness is our superpower, and it means we tend to take life as it comes.”
Selected Virtual Happiness Guides will be available for individual 15 minute meetings via Teams, Hangouts or Skype in the week of 22 June. Book

Applications are open until 7 June at 23.59 (GTM+3).
