What is it like to live & love in Finland? That's the question Private Parts Unknown co-hosts Courtney Kocak & Sofiya Alexandra set out to answer during their recent trip to Helsinki. Turns out yes, Helsinkians have to endure frigid winters, but Finnish romance is alive & well… it just looks a little bit different than it does in America. We also learned how the prevalence of feminism is impacting masculinity, what it's like to be queer in Finland & so much more about dating & relationships in Helsinki.
