Finns value efficiency and 'doing things on the way'. If a stop is 'matkan varrella', it is seen as practical and not a waste of time. In the north, distances are huge. Something 'matkan varrella' might still be 50 kilometers away, but it's still considered 'on the way' given the scale of the journey. In meetings, 'matkan varrella' is used to soften the blow of changes or mistakes, framing them as natural parts of a process. The phrase is a staple in Finnish 'road' literature and songs, often symbolizing the unpredictability of life.
