Life in Finland:
Real Stories from Real People
Moving to Finland sounds like a dream, right? (Okay, maybe not during the darkest days of winter.) But what’s it like to grow your career here? To balance meaningful work with a fulfilling personal life? We’ve asked expats from all walks of life to share their journeys—the highs, the lows, and how Finland has shaped their lives.
Spoiler alert: no sugarcoating here, just real stories from real people.
Are you a foreigner living in Finland with a story to tell? I would love to hear it! Reach out to me (hi(at)venlah.com) to share your experience and inspire others who might be considering the leap.
