Not going to lie, that would seem the simplest solution. I'm a finn, lived all my life here, I'd wager that she's not from here based on few reasons:You guys are way overthinking the Finnish connection. She’s probably the typical Amerimutt who offhandedly mentioned she was 3/8ths Perkelenigger once and Chris latched onto it.
- you go on through all the hassle to get your VISA, organize time off from work etc
- you pay out of the wazoo for airline tickets to sit 20 or so hours in transit (or even longer, depending on where you leave for the Helsinki-Vantaa airport)
- and all of this, just to visit CWC
Now combine that to how yank would say they're "eye-talian", "polish", "finnish" etc because their family roots (or just one set of grandparents) are somewhere else and run that by occam's razor. More likely that she's one of you yanks, whether immigrant, 1/something or just having family here.
