If you ask Meghan O’Rourke, she’d say that Finland in the winter is the perfect choice.

“Oh my gosh, this looks like a scene straight out of Disney’s Frozen!” someone in the comment section of the video points out. “The snow sparkles, and the icy landscape feels so magical.”
“It’s the happiest country in the world,” someone else points out, with a third person adding, “Those rivers are really something else.”
