1) Should I say the earth or land of Mafia (or Mafia's earth/ Mafia's land)?

2) - Maybe I can come back to Colombia next week, but there's a strong possibility that I stay here and marry her. (is there any mistake in this sentence ?).

3) On this vacation I'm staying in her house(or at her house). ?

4) My travel in/to/or for Finland?

5) Thanks for helping me or thanks to help me?

Tks,

Alicia

1. The land of the Mafia. we don't use 'earth' in this way.

2. I might come back to Colombia nest week, but there's a strong possibility that I will stay here and marry her.

3 On this vaction I'm staying at her house.

4 My travel to Finland (starts in a different country and ends in Finland)

My travel in Finland (all my travelling happens within the country of Finland).

For Finland - incorrect

5. Thanks for helping me.

only 'land' is used to mean 'country' or 'area where X lives/is found' etc. Earth refers to the whole planet. or, with a small e, the dirt/soil/earth/mud.
