“For me as a hostess, the greatest sense of accomplishment and satisfaction arises, when I see our guests relaxed next to meat pots after their time exploring the spiritual nature and Finnish sauna. These are the moments that our guests take home with them and remember for the rest of their lives. For people and companies in the Saimaa area, it would be a great chance to show to the world how we live, eat and feel life by the lake shores. Finnish gastronomy and hospitality are so important to me that I can speak on behalf of them at every stage.”
