8 Differences Between Finland and USA: How different is Finland compared to USA?

How different is Finland compared to USA? There certainly are a few cultural differences between Finland and USA, and today I'm sharing 8 differences between living in Finland vs. America. Even thought I'm talking mainly about Finland, many of these differences are true also when comparing cultural differences between Europe and America in general.

When I was 17, I spent 10 months living in the U.S. as an exchange student and after that I have also visited USA a few times, so I do have some knowledge about this topic. While living in USA, I attended an American high school, lived with a local host family (who I still stay in touch with by the way!) and hang out with local friends. I also joined the cheer team in my high school which was a good experience! Finnish and American cultures have their differences for sure. Both are modern western countries so to speak, but still there are so many things I could mention in this video. Just small things like door knobs, to things like how people celebrate holidays.

In this video I'm discussing about Finnish vs. American holidays, age limits, small talk, school life and school culture, how everything is bigger in the US, food culture, and some differences between security related things.
