Insider Travel Tips

Discover Finland's bilingual charm and nuanced Nordic identity.

Contrary to popular belief, Finland is technically not a part of Scandinavia. Finland is among the "Nordic countries" but few Finns care to make the distinction.

Finnish is spoken by the majority of the population, but Finland is actually a bilingual country. A Swedish-speaking minority makes up 5% of the population, so maps often bear both Finnish and Swedish names. You can also hear Sami languages spoken across Lapland in the north.

I had a fantastic experience working with Lisa D. on the Goway team. She was helpful, attentive and made sure we were comfortable with our bookings and itinerary before departure, and also checked in with us following our trip. Would definitely book with Goway again!Mandi S.

1186952 trip reference - Croatia and Montenegro. Dear Goway Travel Team! I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels. She recently curated a trip for me to Croatia, the beautiful islands, and Montenegro, and it was an absolute home run. Jacqueline has an incredible ability to listen to her clients' needs and translate them perfectly into a flawless itinerary. Her articulation, guideline execution, and professionalism are unmatched. What sets her apart is her forward-thinking approach—she always knows the exact hotspots and trends, ensuring the pace of the trip matches my speed perfectly. Everything transitioned seamlessly thanks to her attention to detail and care. She is a massive asset to your organization, and her consideration makes every vacation stress-free. I will absolutely continue to use her for all my future travels. Kindest regards, Vince Sacco Vince Sacco

We can’t thank Katherine enough for helping organize our amazing trip to Scotland! Everything came together beautifully, and we were able to enjoy so many incredible places and experiences without the stress of trying to plan it all ourselves. From the accommodations to the itinerary, everything helped make our trip so special. Scotland was absolutely beautiful, and we came home with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. We would highly recommend Katherine to anyone planning a trip and looking for someone who truly cares about making it a great experience! Dan & Michelle Yake Michelle

I have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla Covello

I have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
