“Onnellisuus” - that is Finnish and means “happiness”. There is supposed to be a lot of that in #Finland, because this year the “World Happiness Report” named Finland the country in which the happiest people in the world live. But is that really true? And what do the Finns themselves say about it? You asked yourselves these questions and sent Aminata to Finland for “follow me.reports”. In Helsinki she meets 19-year-old Leevi, who was born in Germany but grew up in Finland. Leevi, who works in a German-Finnish kindergarten, takes Aminata into his everyday life and shows her what else the northernmost country in Europe - which is known above all for its breathtaking nature, saunas and reindeer - has to offer. In this episode of “follow me.reports” you could also follow the filming on Instagram and make decisions for Aminata. As always, Aminata has your questions - and a little challenge from Robin - in her (travel) luggage. What is really behind the image of happy Finns? Perhaps the much-praised Finnish education system, which starts in kindergarten? Or the city of Helsinki's own amusement park? And is it really true that Finland is the country with the highest density of heavy metal bands? Aminata finds out! _______________ The “follow me.reports” EU special: Remotely controlled in Europe To mark the European elections, you sent Aminata, Hannah and Robin to three different European countries and used Instagram to help decide what they experience there. Don't forget: You can have your say again on May 26: This time about the political future of the EU! So don't forget to vote! _______________ IN THE VIDEO: Aminata Belli on Instagram: / aminatabelli MUSIC: Jenni Vartiainen - Vainot Evelina - Kylmii Väreitä Robin - Boom Kah [feat.
