Finland Explained
Hello, everyone I started a new project/newsletter on Substack: Finland Explained . I didn't know how to let everyone know about it, in case you want to support the project by becoming a free subscriber. My intention is to collaborate with sponsors and for that I need at least 500 to 1,000 subscribers to even be considered. So, you see how your free subscription could help greatly. In return, you will get to learn different aspects of a small nation far away in the north. Here below is the first introductory story I copied from Substack to give you an idea what this is going to be about. So far, Finland Explained is on Substack and Instagram . Yes, no followers yet. You can be the first one and first subscriber on Substack. :)
