Living in Finland

Helsinki

Living in Finland can be a truly amazing experience. Finns are very proud in saying, "living in Finland is like winning the jackpot in the lottery." Finland is a very forward thinking society; it has a steadily growing economy, ranks number one in being on the cutting edge of technology, and they have one of the best education systems in the world. Finns take a lot of pride in that, but they do not brag about it. In fact the way they communicate can be rather strange for many foreigners coming to Finland. Finns are very independent in nature, they do not talk a lot, and tend to stick to themselves in most situations which can create an awkward situation for someone who isn't used to that.

Whether you are now just considering moving to Finland, or you already live here, having the right information, establishing connections and keeping an open mind are key to having a good experience.

This section aims to provide; useful resources for making the move to Finland, gaining cultural information, as well as helpful resources to have once you arrive here.
