If you wanna be healthy, I think Finland is your number one choise. The organic foods are cheap enough here, very affordable if you ask me, the air is so clean, many lakes to swim in, you can pick berries and mushrooms in forests, and the cold climate allows you to do cold exposure training like Wim Hof, which has many great health benefits. And our local non-organic foods are known to be less filled with industrial toxins of all kinds like antibiotics and pesticides, than in most other countries, so even if you can't afford organic you're not that bad-off. I once slept 9 months in forests in finnish forests, and I had never been so healthy, not even a single minor health complaint of any kind. Except the lack of sleep because it didnt feel safe, especially in the beginning, even though was safe. That got better the longer you spent there though.
I really want to visit Finland. I bought an apartment in Spain from Finnish people. They were so lovely , left me instructions for everything and everything spotless , nice Ikea furniture , lovely people , really impressed .
@@espe1009 if you know where Mikkeli is then just drive 73km to north... Or just take the highway to Kuopio and at Mikkeli follow the signs and look for the sign for Pieksämäki. About 3-4 hour drive from Helsinki and you're here
You are extremely creative to show pros and cons, a great sense of humor and kindness, excellent. I'm about to work either to Fin or in Finland, very exciting ! Thanks
Thanks guys for watching! If you need tips on how to get a job in Finland, check out this playlist: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xjZwJiQx3tw.html&list=PLfteCO7QoBjsRK9qE9d1tueazjxRIee8i&index=2
Hi! First of all, thank you for share all this information about Finland in English, although I intend to learn Finnish in the future, I'll need some time to get there 😊. Because of you, I can understand a little bit more about this amazing country where I am living now 💛. May I suggest a topic to a future video? The topic will be "how to pic berries in the woods". Which type we can or cannot eat, tips to find the plants, harvesting tips, etc. I'll love it! Thanks again for share the Finnish culture with us, great work!
BTW I read this great book that does explain with statistics and all, why Finland is a very fantastic country: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZJ90J4Qsj2o.html I loved it!
Another great video. I have turned on many friends to the sauna. As kids, we would sauna and run out in the snow. Very few have a clue as to what that does for the spirit! One with nature!
i was in scandinavian countries a time ago and i couldn't visit finland because of the time but i hope visit it someday and maybe live there, you have very nice things, excellent video!!
Perkele! You've convinced me haha. I'll be going there next July on holiday but I hope I'll stay there for a much longer time during or after my studies (I'm only 17 years old). :D
I wish to raise my future children in the future in Finland for the amazing education system. 😂 wait till I have a couple of children and my husband agrees, we’ll work something for it. Hahaha, anyhow, yes I have to agree. Finland is AMAZING! I love love love Finland and still remains one my favourite countries since I visited it many years back. ❤️🇫🇮❤️
Aleksi, you are so fun to watch! Thanks a lot. Make a video about the Finnish sense of humour, please. It is seems so normal in Finland that humour is a fun thing, that it is almost invisible to Finns themselves how much fun they create - and love. And the self-irony more than anything. Even Finnish presidents joke and make pranks. From, for example, a Swedish point of view, that's unbelievable. In Finnish and Swedish we don't have words that exactly translate "Please" or "Bitte", and that might make us not only seem rude, but even barbarian. Please, make a video about that, too, will you, could you, would you? So often in our own languages we use konditionalis and the verbs for can/be able to instead in the form of questions - foreigners might totally misjudge this, I am afraid, as us just not being fluent in English/German, and rude on the top of it. We also use a lot "Kiitos" and "Tack" to show how polite, grateful, and delighted we are. When we use these words of thanks (translated) foreigners just think we are odd, totally missing our different way to be polite. Regrettably foreigners are often also not at all used to the fact that cultural differences exist down to this level. For them their own ways are, or should be, the only normal ways. They might need a bit more education on this topic, so please, help them, dear Aleksi! Sorry for pointing out this lack of global outlook so directly, but it is just that Finns hate to be untruthful, because they want to be absolutely reliable, and therefore there is no rudeness/poor upbringing implied by being outspoken, at least in most cases. Keep having fun and entertain us with your videos! Kudos to you!
Ole hyvä! Ei mitään kiittämistä. I'm just watching now, one video at the time; thanks for cheering us up! :-) Have you BTW noticed that the English really don't know how to say "Ole hyvä, Olkaa hyvä(t) or Varsågod(a) either - Here you go! (!!!) - that's not my idea of politeness! ;-) What do you say?
Me and my fiance wanna move to Finland one day,it's our dream but we're little afraid because we don't speak the language very well(we just started learning) and it's very hard to find a job for us because we come from Serbia that is not in the EU.... But we won't give up :) we're hard working and honest people that wish for everyone to follow there dreams just like we do.... Kittos for your time Aleksi you're awesome.dude ♥️
I think the hardest part would be getting a job, I’m visiting here as a tourist and every single person I’ve spoken to had better English skills than I do
Aleksi Himself - Videos about Finland the criteria seems to be, if you have a parent who was a resident of Finland then yes, it is easier. But most Finnish-Americans have relatives who came to the US between 1890 and 1920. Which makes them our grandparents or even great-grandparents. But yes many of us do still have relatives in Finland we keep in contact with.
@@lcl7wrkr check www.migri.fi for more information. I had a friend who moved from America to Finland who had a similar story as you. It was funny because he introduced himself as Finnish but couldn't speak a word 😂. Should try that website out, it's the official site of the emigration office.
Finland maybe does not have such things as beautiful skyscrapers, but Finland does offer great geography. Cleanliness, safety. And overall just seems like a really cozy country where the government truly does want the best for the people. And that is what matters to me.
I completely agree about honesty. While working in a hotel I wasn't able to get paid through a Finnish family's credit card ( my fault) and they left without paying for their hotel stay but promising to transfer the money from their bank in Finland. Which, of course, they did. Love the Finns.
Hi, Aleksi, like your video. I gonna move from Germany to Finland, the new adventure ahead makes me quite excited. Although I might get less savings than in Germany (less salary and higher expenses unfortunately 🙈) but I believe that I will not regret it. The forrest is really nice, but is there any bear in forest? Little bit worried.🐻
Number one reason (its safe there), is something I agree with and miss in Sweden. Used to be really safe here. Until people who like to abuse the word "xenophobe" completely ruined it and turned it into a semirich thirdworld country... Be careful with your politics dude, dont be afraid to come off as xenohobic to preserve what you got there..
One of your most awesome & informative vid, Aleksi! I went to Finland by myself and I felt incredibly safe out there, I had absolutely no need to look over my shoulder and stuff lol. When I’m done taking my intensive Tour Directing & Guiding course in 2 months I’ll see if it’ll be possible for me to get a job out there. Thanks once again dude! 🤘🏻
Biggest problem that comes along with a developed country is the privileged behaviour that comes along with it. I know some of my Finn friends who say they're 'poor' when they own a lot more than the average person in America. They're also quite ignorant of the world and suffering in general. Not saying that Finns don't suffer; of course they do. They just perceive their suffering as a lot worse than it actually is because they haven't experienced much.
"This is why Finland is one of my favorite countries in the world to visit, live in or both someday knowing that my home country of origin the Philippines is getting at the worst levels .?!"
I'm in the US and I drink at LEAST a gallon of coffee every day. I hope you know that Finland isn't the ONLY coffee country. BTW, I live in a State that has 10,000 natural lakes and 2,000 manmade lakes.
Aleksi Himself - Videos about Finland Yes probably but I also want to visit some other countries so it’s fine to wait a little. I’ve made very good experiences with Duolingo :)
i will say that finland still has relatively strict drug laws, especially with regards with marijuana use, compared to a lot of other similar countries
Hello I'm currently still in school but I'm pretty sure I want to move from Germany to finland! But ive heard that it's very hard to get a job there if you don't speak Finnish... is that true? And would anyone recommend me as a German to move to finland?
No, you don't need to be citizen or P visa to get social benefits, it is enough you have A type visa which is for work or marriage. As a tax payer or a spouse.
ive wanted to move there since i was 11 years old!! I've been a little scared of encountering racists(although there's racism everywhere ive been told its bad there) even though all the finns ive met have been nice but they were all relatively "famous" musicians. Also if i move i wanna stay and i heard it's hard to get citizenship in Scandinavian countries. Learning the language will be difficult but doable thats why im trying to learn Now even though i know many speak English. Getting the funds to move there is an issue too but i really wanna ex pat living in America is shitty we are basically a 3rd world country at this point... healthcare isn't considered a right neither is a FULL education!
What about military service though? I served in my country and i am thinking of moving, either there or somewhere else. In case of Finland will i have to serve again?
hey aleksi I m samayantak from india. I watch your video very carefully. Because I want to move in Finland from india. But I will just roam outside in vacation. So what can tell me how much trouble for an indian it can cause to shift there ?🙄
Hi Aleksi, I am planning to study in Finland but I am terrified. I read a lot of blogs, articles and write ups to find that people hate small talk and are introvert in general........If that is the case I will die alone in those extremely depressing weathers......How should I approach people for friendship, if only you can suggest?
Don't take it too seriously. It is true to some extent. I do small talk with strangers almost daily. Watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YAHkSgfNWno.html
I live in South Africa and violent crime and scams are very common. I am definitely planning on moving to Finland and doing my Masters in Psychology in Finland.
@@AleksiHimself Tai olit ainakin tehnyt videon siitä miksi Suomeen ei kannata mennä... taitaa ajaa samaa asiaa... :) jatka ihmeessä videoiden tekoa! :D
I have been to finland, and I found that there were many Chinese advertisement and sign in airport.I think it's the most chinese friendly Northen Europe country
@@AleksiHimself I would agree, but how is it that Sweden, Norway, and the EU nations generally are being overrun by foreigners who are the exact opposite? The U.S. is facing the same problem. It is being sold out by a political class who want to use these foreigners to divide and subvert our republic. Perhaps it's flies to a corpse, but I would wish better things for both our countries.
Hi Alex, love all your videos.. Keep rocking. I am from India and Need your help as am planning to move soon to Finland for work. Is there a way I could reach you please?
are there any statistics on sexuality in finland? I would like to find my mate there and I am a bit afraid that it will be very difficult to find ... a partner for life. I don't know what it is like with homosexuality, is it generally accepted and you can find even a little group of people of this orientation? I am really sorry for any mistakes, English is not my national language, I'm still learning. anyway, thanks for help, if someone even response on this comment
Finland doesn't support any nasty dictators, and thus, can call itself a 100% democratic nation. Sadly, I'd struggle to find a job there (living with a disability sucks if you need to get a job). Or maybe I'm not courageous enough to try. In all else I agree, Finland is an excellent place to live.
