Though New York recently ranked among the happiest states in the US if you’re searching for that happiness along with a change of scenery then Finland has got what you’re searching for!
The nordic country of Finland has, for the last six years, won the title of being the world’s happiest nation in the UN rankings, and now they’re offering you a slice of their happiness!
Visit Finland and Helsinki Partners, led by the “Helsinki Happiness Hackers,” are searching for several lucky “Happiness Seekers” to embark on a five-day trip to Helsinki, Finland. And the best part: the entire trip, including flights there and back, is completely free of charge!
The chosen Happiness Seekers will fly to Finland this summer on Sunday, June 9th, to participate in the Helsinki Happiness Hackers five-day course. Activities include, but are not limited to, swimming and taking to the woodlands to walk around and stretch those legs.
Those interested in applying (you must be at least 18 years old) must take part in an Instagram or TikTok social media challenge on and fill out their sign-up form. More information on both of these can be found here.
Applications close on Thursday, April 4th at 5:59 pm EST, and those who are chosen will be notified on Thursday, May 2nd.
