Red wooden horses run are deeply ingrained in the culture of Nusnäs, Sweden.
“Dalahästar,” or “dala horses,” are traditional handicrafts that have been around for centuries.
They are commonly known as children’s toys or sometimes religious items. They’ve also been used as a form of currency. Today, they are a national symbol.
And it’s not just any old red used to paint them. It’s Sweden’s famous Falu red — a classic, rusty red-orange color that comes from the mines in the region of Dalarna.
Nils Olsson Dalahästar is one of the oldest dala horse factories in Sweden, started by two brothers in 1928. And it’s still in the family today.
Artisans start with locally sourced pine or alder wood. They stamp the outline of the horse onto the planks, and carpenters roughly shape the figurine with a band saw.
This is the only part of the process that uses a machine — and they want to keep it this way.

Life philosophy:
“Live freely, seek knowledge, and be open to the richness of life’s experiences.”
Lassi Pensikkala, hailing from Finland, has devoted four decades to living abroad. His curiosity to learn about other countries, cultures, and languages began at a very young age.
The late 1950s and the '60s marked the golden era of Rock'n Roll, student movements, and the first moon landing. Nordic people enjoyed the freedom to travel seamlessly among Scandinavian countries, including Finland, without the need for passports. This enduring sense of freedom remains paramount for Scandinavians today.
True freedom involves exploring, learning about new countries and languages, and connecting with diverse people.
