Sounds wonderful! And love Finnish summer nights when it barely gets dark - my mother lives in eastern Finland. Agree there is something about sleeping outside that is so special.
That does sound fabulous. Sleeping wild under the stars was often a dream for me growing up. Not an experience women feel always comfortable to access, unfortunately. Hopefully things are changing 🤞🏼
Hi Sarah. You make a good point which is, sadly, relevant. I think I referenced this in a previous post (Night Hikes) and discussed it recently with Kathryn Aalto, the author of the book that is mentioned: 'Writing Wild: Women Poets, Ramblers and Mavericks Who Shape How We See the Natural World ' (@kathrynaalto). You may be interested in reading this – it's an excellent book. I'm a student on Katy's Memoir and Nature Writing courses at the moment. Thanks for the comment.
What a wonderful read and experience. I think it certainly is a privilege to be at one with nature and you certainly did it last night.

Finland is magical in summer...
Looking forward to go there in a few weeks!
