Here's How to Get a Free All-Expenses-Paid Trip to Finland

You have until April 2 to apply to take part in the nation's new Happiness Masterclass.

Calling all those on a quest to find the secret to happiness. Finland, which was named the world's happiest country for the sixth year in a row by the United Nations' World Happiness Report, has just launched a contest to help a few lucky winners discover the country's essence of happiness.

Dubbed the Masterclass of Happiness and launched by Finland's tourism office, the four-day retreat will bring the 10 lucky guests to the Lakeland region of Finland, where they will stay at the all-inclusive Kuru resort. All participants will have their private room, and the masterclass will cover expenses for travel and accommodation.

During the stay, guests will take a dive into Finland and its lands, and they will fully immerse in nature by exercising in forests and lakes, learning about nature crafts, and discovering the essence of authentic Finnish culture and way of life. Ya know, a taste of all that happiness secret sauce.
