Cultural Insight |
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
Nico: The "Freedom to Roam," or jokamiehenoikeus, is an interesting aspect of Finland in relation to possessions. It means that despite the private ownership of natural locations, like forests or lakes, everyone has the right to enjoy them, as long as they don't cause any harm to them. Everyone is entitled to, for example, pick berries and mushrooms from forests, and swim and boat in lakes. |
