One of my closest friends, Taina Mustamaa lives in Kotka, Finland. That is east of Helsinki. She and her family own a quaint, rustic cottage (with no running water or electricity) in the rural southeastern part of Finland, close to the Russian border. This is known as the municipality of Virolahti. The population is extremely sparse, but nature abounds. Click here for Google Map.

Thanks for the photos Taina! I miss you!
