I LOVE to read your comments so please say hi in the comment section!

I just moved to Helsinki to work as Au Pair (international nanny) if your younger (under 30 yo) I highly suggest doing it, it is an "easy" way to try the life in Finland, people are super nice, and although you don't make much money from Au Pair, the host family basically pays for everything so you can easily spend the rest of your money traveling through europe or even better, through beautiful Finland!
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing this! ❤️🥰✌🏼
Glad to hear you're enjoying your stay in Finland.
Greetings from Helsinki!
But don't you need to be able to speak Finnish? How much did you have to work?
@@kftspss Most of Finns speak atleast tolerable english
Glad you were lucky with your host family!
Thank you for a great video! I am moving to Finland in January and i can’t wait. I am gonna dokument it all on my Channel.
My wife is so beautiful, and I am grateful for her!

Well we can always make some Finnish treatments to you! Oh wait, we already started the process with salmiakki :D Lumilapio Mr Sanders!
Coach Sanders
Haha 😂 I love you Corey
Siri Termäs
Haha 😂 yessss he is such a good sport. Love you Siri
@@WildwoodVagabond Love you both
I am moving into Finland from Italy to do ministry. I am originally from Nigeria 🇳🇬 and I have lived in Italy for 20 years with my family.
Thank you for the information you shared. I found them helpful
I have begun to look forward to your videos about your Finnish experience.
I see parallels experiences between you and my daughter (somewhat loosely). My daughter met a Finn online (weird, I know, and totally unexpected from a parent’s view). She and he bonded through politics, strangely enough too. As sons-in-law go, I like and respect him. He is very smart and he seems to be taking good care of my daughter and their four children very well. I did get to witness my son-in-law become a citizen of the United States so that was special.
My daughter is best described as a Germanophile. She did an exchange student stint in a small town in what was Eastern Germany. After graduating high school and college she went back to Germany for another year of study. Her German, according to native speakers I have talked to declare her German excellent. So naturally, I thought she would marry some German she met. So the Finnish connection completely threw me.
The children are connecting with their Finnish heritage while living in Finland. And my daughter is learning a very difficult language and a much different culture. The Finnish language is a bit of a challenge (her words not mine) but I expect she will become nearly as fluent as she is in German and English.
This is so cool! No doubt she will get finnish down. That’s great that the kids get to connect with their finnish heritage. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your lovely videos about your life in Finland. I am a Finn living in Sweden my whole life, but I always have wanted to move to my real home country. I have most relatives living in Finland and I spent my summers in Finland. I just still haven´t dared to move yet. Maybe I need some courage to do what you did. I should have not too hard to move there. Thank you for your information about how to move. I like when you say Lumilapio, hahaha!!! So funny!!
You're going to be fine, Otto! It really isn't so tough if you speak english, or even swedish. :)
WeeJiiWee Thanks. I speak these three languages.
As a Finnish American, I am so curious about people being so interested in Finland. My father’s father was born in Saarijarvi. My great grandparents were born in Kuortane, Alavus, and Jalasjarvi.
Thank you for sharing all this. I'm sure this will help many people out. Enjoy the weather there and all the best :) Lumilapio!
Lumilapio! Thanks for watching ☺️❤️
Moi Mita kuulu? I’m Kenyan. I studied in Finland 5years ago for exchange programme. Totally loved it. I lived in Jyvaskyla for about 6 months before coming back home. I wanna come back someday! I hope I get to do so!
Do You have Your YT Videos ? I am sure that You had never see SNOW BEFORE ?
Do You know - What LUMILAPIO - means ? You may use Lumilapio too to ask People - How are They Doing ? Many surely would have No Idea - what in Texas - is never seen before !
Stay in Kenya. Here people have to go to WORK.
Hei Rachel ! Ihana nähdä sinua ! Kiitos videosta ja toivotan että sinä ja perheesi pysyy terveenä ! Uskon että ensi vuosi on parempi ! All the best ! Stay safe !
To quote Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic Park: "Life.. finds a way"
I like that! ❤️
Nice informative video. Thank you!
Good to hear! Thanks for watching ❤️
what if you are over 55 and want to retire there from America?
I shared this video to a Finland related Facebook group. Hopefully you get some new watchers.

Awesome! Thank you ☺️❤️ I hope you’re doing well! Have a great weekend
I am well, thanks. Just a little sad because the summer is over.
oh2mmy
Oh yeah that is a bummer. Now comes the dark cool days
What’s the group ?
@@Comradeslush that comment is years old and I deleted my FB account several years ago, but I guess the group may have been "Do I look Finnish?"
How to move to Finland: marry a finnish person. Then again, how'd one meet a finnish person.
That’s a good question! Lol

In the net
Finland is a fantastic country :)
@Luna_ Aurora No no no ! I mean it :) And why do you hate Finland ? Finland has as high a standard of living as Norway ! :) Are you Finnish yourself ?
@Luna_ Aurora To hate Finland ? What ? Try some other Country !
@Luna_ Aurora What is Your Favorite Country ? Name 3 - Better than Finland !
@Luna_ Aurora Do You speak any of those languages ? Are You Finnish Citizen ? Oletko koskaan ajatellut muuttaa pois Suomesta ?

My father has a Portuguese passport. If I go to Finland through my father and get permission to stay as a dependent. Will I have the opportunity to study as well as work?
Thank you for this video.
Thank you for always watching every video and also for commenting! I appreciate you ❤️ have a great weekend
I was just about to recommend youtube channels in English about Finland like Lifey (although its people are religious) but Bland and Aleksi are good too. That's really Finnish scenery on the background, in the summertime I mean. That shirt is very Finnish as well. I've noticed that many Finns actually like animals more than people. That's why it would be great to have more Americans and Europeans here, there is never enough socially active people. Especially Americans, always so friendly and talkative.
Thanks for sharing! I also thought the scenery was quite finnish. Take care! ❤️
Aleksi is funny, I too recommend his channel!
RI5TO
He’s pretty funny! Have a great weekend ❤️✌🏼
and Hydraulic Press Channel :D
@@casio007 Yes that is a fun channel. I also recommend "Pongfinity" channel. Young Finns doing table tennis tricks. They too have a huge following.
ah, finland brings back memories......had a stoner friend who tried to drive there in the 70's. he thought his vw bug could make it..alas
Soon it's below zero and all what's left of social relationships just die, for like 8 months. Then we have 3-4 months to actually live, enjoy, do everything and then same shit again. And still someone asks why we are depressed?
The bidding to be my wife starts at 5k! xD Perkele lets go :D
Haha 😂
Ha, you are not single
:sigh: I was *nearly* there! In the process of buying a house in Riihimäki and then the Brexit vote happened (I am English) and the Pound deflated like a flan in a cupboard and it was no longer financially viable. I could afford the house but not the two years without income I calculated I would need to polish up my basic language skills and find a job :(.
Dallas Sukerkin
I’m so sorry to hear that! Hopefully things improve and in the future you could try again. Much love from Texas ❤️
why I moved and how you can too!
“I married a finn” 😳
I'm not sure if remigration is a thing anymore. From what I understand it was made as a law in the 80s by President Koivisto to specifically allow migration to those Finns who got naturalized as Soviet citizens in WW2, when they essentially chopped off a large part of our South-Eastern parts. They're called Ingrians, and every one of those has either stayed put or immigrated already. Other than that though, I wish more people would immigrate here.
Actually Ingrians are people that have lived in Russia way longer, and not in the ceded Carelia but in areas that have never belonged to independent Finland. But true, the law was passed to allow them to get to Finland easily.
I wanna move to finland from the USA

Thanks! I just realized I spelled oikein wrong 😑 it’s been a while. I need to use my finnish more often
Don't worry about that, it's not big thing. Main thing is that you tried, and that's how you learn and remember every time more. Big 👏
For the notice: Do 8min videos so you can add a commercial break and get a buck or two more from us viewers. =)
Hampaaton Läski
It’s good to know that you don’t kind an extra ad 🥰❤️ I appreciate it
@@WildwoodVagabond One thing I DO appreciate about TH-cam is you can SKIP ads you aren't interested in after four seconds. Accordingly, I don't mind even three or four ads in a ten-minute video at all.
One thing that DOES bother me though is when TH-camrs stretch out their vids - essentially running the same material over and over to reach eight minutes. :oP
Approximately how would you rank your Finnish language level from A1 to C2?
Yeyy, another great video! 😘 Have you done a reacting to new finnish music videos yet? Those types of videos seem to be pretty popular and it would be nice to know how do you feel about finnish music. 😅😇
Great suggestion! Someone requested I react to Nightwish. I plan to do that when I figure out how to do it without getting a copyright strike on my video. I mean obviously it can be done Bc others do it. I just need to figure out how. Can you send me links to any Finnish music I should react to? Thanks Aino 🥰 have a great weekend
Or names of bands
Yes I can do that! 🤗 Usually the clips that are shown are short, so maybe there is a time limit, so you could show short clips. But I don’t know. Do you want latest Finnish chart hits or just very popular Finnish songs?
@@WildwoodVagabond Nightwish does´nt usually copyright song reactions, so it´s safe.
If you haven't already, you should do a reaction to Ievan Polkka!
Also, here's a music video by a lesser known band that have a modern take on a more traditional sound; translated lyrics provided: th-cam.com/video/GHJvtETEpw4/w-d-xo.html
The real question is, why am I watching this?
I am fairly sure I do not have to move into Finland ^^
Yet I watched it till the end so guess 'twas a good show :)=
In the meanwhile, greetings from the ridiculously warm and sunny Finland.
Thanks for watching! It’s warm in finland? 😲 it’s perfect weather here! Sunny and warm not hot. Take care! ❤️
Hi . Is there any investment visa or am I be able to make my children study in Finland school.
Hey, I just saw this video. Excuse me, do you still live in Finland? :)
Here after watching Larry Lawton
Hi, thank you so much for the information ℹ️ I live in Finland but I want to move to America 🇺🇸 is that possible?
OMG you SCARED me!! I thought you had some sort of dramatic upset and just moved BACK to Finland!! :oO
Glad to realize you're still here in the good ole' US of A. It pains me to think of your having to take your shoes off every time you enter someone's house! You deserve so much better! :oD
You dont take your shoes off when you enter house?
@@joona1257 Not unless they're muddy (i.e., there's a logical reason to).
@@joona1257 When I visit attractive women I muddy my pants, too so I have a "valid" reason to take those off, as well! :oD
I’m still in the US for now. I still take off my shoes here at my own house and others. A habit that stayed with me ☺️❤️ take care!
@@WildwoodVagabond Below's an interesting treatise on how wearing shoes in homes is viewed around the world. The practice of removing shoes seems largely religious-based. My being an atheist, I live according to equity and logic - not superstition or tradition.
Further, my heritage is German and Italian. Germans aren't strict about no-shoes-in-the-house and Italians don't do it or require it at all. In the U.S. where I live, it's mostly only coastal immigrant populations that require it - inland states where I'm from don't.
Just philosophically, requiring guests to remove shoes is wrong. Guests should be made to feel safe, welcome, honored, and appreciated to be in your home. After all, they have given up the safety and comfort of their own homes to be in yours. They're imparting the joy of their company to you and your family. They should accordingly be encouraged to continue to do so - to "make themselves at home" - not discouraged.

Lumilapio! Not related to video but I would like to hear about the American health care system 🤔 what you think about it
It’s horrible in my opinion. Most people can’t afford the high health insurance premiums nor the cost of prescription drugs without insurance. Even if you have health insurance it isn’t guaranteed that the insurance company will pay for the services you receive. They have a lot of fine print and loopholes to go through. I worked in the medical field and left it because of the greed and dishonesty. It is a for profit industry which is wrong in my opinion. I could go on for days about it. I have wanted to do a video comparing finnish and american healthcare but it gets super complicated. I still plan on doing one some day though. It just takes a lot of time and research. But yeah, I am not a fan. I personally do not have health insurance and thankfully I have been very healthy. Lumilapio!
@@WildwoodVagabond I watched a documentary about American health care a couple of months ago. I was shocked that for example some people have to go to Canada to buy insulin because you save thousands of dollars by doing that.
So it's at least partially true as we say in Finland: it's like winning of lottery if you born in Finland 😄
This topic would be very interesting if you will do video about it 👍🏻
since I'm planning a visit to TX, does that AC/DC song (thunderstruck) gravitate to reality "yeah we went to texas and we met some girls who gave us a good time"? =D
Haha yeah I’m pretty sure you could find some girls somewhere to show you a good time since people here are pretty outgoing 😄
Tuomas Suikkanen I’m a Finn who’s been to Texas twice. The waitresses were nice and beautiful and the serving sizes huge. I assume that’s what you were talking about. Yeah, good times. The guys driving around in trucks with gun racks stacked with shotguns was a bit odd, though. I don’t know how often an ordinary person might need a shotgun suddenly.
Ideas for finnishfriday..I have been watching these reaction videos about Nightwish music and those videos seems to be really popular 🤩😎 it would be intresting for sure for us and for you..😁
Coming up! Thanks for the suggestion 😎❤️
Nightwish put Kitee Town on The World Map ! Kiteen " kirkas " has been the Best kept secret for years - but nobody knows - from where it comes from ! Now You know the Talk of Town & The Best Kept Secret !

Hello! I have a question, my boyfriend is a Finnish citizen, and I am from Chile, I am here in Chile, we want to get married, in order to get that residence permit, so my question is, should I go to Finland with a tourist visa, then get married right after, then apply the residence permit? If they give me the answer after 90 days, my tourist visa will be expired, I have to leave Finland? And wait in Chile for the answer?
No, you can wait here until you get decision, so no need to leave, as long as you have applied before your Visa expires.
Hi .. will student pathway help me to get job .. Meaning after completing studies ..
how about tuition fees as an international student ?
👋
Thumbs down for homeschooling, thumbs up for living your dreams and life.
I am sorry to ask you many questions. I know you are texas girl, are you familiar with area around MD Anderson Cancer hospital. Is that area good place to live
No problem! I don’t know for sure but I do know there are some very affluent neighborhoods around that area. So it would depend on how much you are willing to spend on housing. As far as I know it is nice because there are a lot of students who live in the area as well as people working at MD Anderson. Hope this helps.
Terveisiä Turusta. 😎
Loistavaa! Tervetuloa rakas tyttö tänne pohjolaan!
Kiitoksia! Toivottavasti, minä pääsen Suomeen pian
Could you please react to something from the Finnish comedian Ismo? He has material in both Finnish and English
If you are interested in Finland and what history is behind it and have brought happiness to the people, etc. then this video will tell you well. Here John B. Simon tell the history of Finnish Jews but also about the rise of Finland in poverty.

I love that you've left the church/cult you were in. I'll subscribe for the first time ever just for that. (You're free to join some other cult or church, it just made me happy you got out of one.)
Tommi Hintsala
Haha 😄 thanks for subscribing! I actually denounced christianity too. That sounds intense but I just mean that I no longer consider myself christian. Some good came out of that period of my life but I’m glad to have moved on. Take care! Love from Texas ✌🏼❤️
@@WildwoodVagabond I'm a "devout" atheist myself, but I'm fine with people believing in what they want to.
Also, I really hope you vote. I don't like the way the U.S. is going now and the right wing naziboys in Finland are getting way too much traction with that turd of a human being being in power.
Tommi Hintsala
I feel the same! I try not to judge people based on what they believe. Everyone is just trying to find their way through life.
Yes I am definitely voting and my vote is against the turd. He is so dangerous in many ways.
@@WildwoodVagabond There's much I don't like about Trump, but I most appreciate his firm position against immigration. That is, that's undermining our laws, language, freedom, environment, quality of life, and civil rights.
Feeling guilty now? Good. Hopefully it will start a domino effect that effects changes that keep incompetent politicians like Biden and to some extent, Trump from even running for office.

Mam you are such a beautiful love u mam
Me living in Finland: How can i move to finland?
Move first to, say, Sweden or Estonia. Then you can move (back) to Finland.
Oon kissa btw
That whole excommunication thing sounds awfully lot like the JW practice, whom, like the Mormons, are not Christians. Regardless, that sucks. Glad to hear all worked out.
Anyway, we're happy to welcome you back to Finland! (Although, I don't live there right now.)
Agimus78
I think that mormans and jehovah witness deviate from traditional “Christian” doctrine and belief, so most believers outside of those churches don’t consider them christians. Those two organizations are mostly seen as cults(at least a here in the US), although it is technically a Christian denomination. It’s so ridiculous there are over 10,000 “Christian” denominations 🤯
Yes, my experience with that church was very cult like and I’m so so grateful to have realized it and gotten away from that!
Thank you! Take care ❤️
@Agimus78 If I said I was a member of Mensa, yet they'd never even heard of me, that would not a member of me make. JW are denouncing the core dogma of Christendom, the Holy Trinity, and Mormons have lifted a fanfic book above in status the scripture of Christianity. They also believe people can *become* god through virtue. That is considered wildly heretic by Christians. There's this whole thing called ecumenism, in which the Christian denominations recognise each other. None of them recognise either one. As someone without religion, I don't care either way - but as an educator, I firmly believe definitions matter.
Yeah all religions are cults, that is different from main stream. So Christianity started as a cult too. As do all religions.
I'm an atheist, so I'm alright with it.
Finland is a terrible place for communicative social people who DO NOT drink or do drugs and don't F*CK before they really get to know someone.
Finland is just a nightmare. Especially for artists, and people who don't speak fluent Finnish and can't get job in their sector.
BUT if you are working in IT sector or work in an international place of your kind- and if you are ambiverted or introverted, not so much into talking with people, unless you you drink or take drugs and then jump into bed with people before you get to know them- you will have the time of your life.
Study-wise-- schools are mainly theory based so they are very very very boring and all is based on homework really.
Health wise- it's horrid- and mental health wise it' s a tragedy and a huge national problem here which is never sorted with any behavioral therapy or support groups- but mainly with pushing prescribing drugs- or worsened depression cured at homewith illegal drugs- so the the suicides are through the roof. No joke.
I know a lot of people here- and in the last 4 years, 6 people I'd met or wored with- including one friend - killed themselves.
Why you may think-well, because Finns don't open up and don't talk to anyone, neither the psychologists have any social skills or any warmth what so ever and just can't help people organically. This is very sad. And alarming.
I've been here almost 12 years. Currently helping foreign people with depression in FI, but honestly- I can't wait to move out!
The only nice thing about here is truly delicious coffee, variety of diet variations and GF products & most of all - peaceful nature, but then, the nature is beautiful everywhere around the world.
The amount of red tape to get through to move to Finland is INSURMOUNTABLE, and I don't suggest anyone even attempt it. You'll never be able to move there.
Amount of red tape (which is just coming, not valid yet). And it's to f.e US citizen is more harder,... Sorry if have you no ability to learn our laws, new country, new regulations and language.
I think one don't need church if want's to believe in something. There is some much violence in history that was made in the name of god(s). I think who or whatever planned or did this whole is not pleased if one kills and says it was "will of god".
No, watching what's currently going on in the US, think most people won't blame you to move to Finland. So, also welcome to the European Family.
Thank you ❤️
In 2015 more than 30 000 asylum seekers came to Finland from Sweden and I bet that most of them got free housing and all the benefits. Funny thing is that those asylum seekers had traveled here through several safe countries, so they had no right to seek asylum here.
Eero Kutale 😬 not good
@@WildwoodVagabond th-cam.com/video/Ao_7rxdsYL4/w-d-xo.html
@@WildwoodVagabond Sorry to tell you. Eero Kutale is perfectly right. I have been living in Finland since 1974, I can speak, read and write Finnish fluently and I know precisely what is happening in this country...
OK, found one www.stat.fi/tup/suoluk/suoluk_vaesto.html#Turvapaikanhakijat%20ja%20pakolaiskiinti%C3%B6 Most of the decisions were given during 2016, big amount denied.
2015 asylum seekers: 32477, accepted: 1112, denied: 1307, residence permit received: 767
2016 asylum seekers: 5647, accepted: 4586, denied: 14282, residence permit received: 3159
2017 asylum seekers: 5047, accepted: 2528, denied: 3996, residence permit received: 1256
2018 asylum seekers: 4548, accepted: 1852, denied: 1976, residence permit received: 888
One becomes a refugee when asylum is given. Refugee status is checked every year. Most lose their refugee status at some point, so it's not like they will all stay in the country until their death!
There are residence permits for different durations.
Asylum seeker = turvapaikanhakija
Refugee = pakolainen
@@Aurinkohirvi Negative asylum decision doesn't mean that they are deported, they just make complaint after complaint for free and in few years they get residence permit.

@@Aurinkohirvi Sorry to hear, but it's safe to say I have greater confidence in your government's ability to handle COVID than mine. The Finnish government appears to actually value the input of her biological scientists whereas the American one seems more focused on political machinations. As a biologist myself, I do not find politicians (typically) to be qualified medical professionals.
Architype0 Our current government consists of young inexperienced women who are ideologists and don’t have much knowledge of economy or work experience outside of youth politics. The corona problem is pretty much handled by the health authorities whose recommendations they follow.

0:58: How can I blame you for moving away from a country that voted Donald Duck as their president? 😂😂😂
it would be great if all TDS suffers moved as well.. dont let the door hit you where the good lord split you on the way out.
What is TDS ? Is is something You should know or have known for years ? Is it like Finnish Baseball ? A Game that many has NEVER heard of - thru 100years of Series ?
@@holoholopainen1627 its something that spread in the US nation faster and stronger then Covid19 in 2015/16, and is even more powerful today.
@@sirphoenixknight3567 Thanks ! Ok - are many moving ? Many need to learn a new language to take part of everyday life abroad ! Thank God - in Canada & Jamaica - They speak english ! Do You speak spanish ?
@@holoholopainen1627 if you assume i live in the USA good on you for that one.
Why do you keep banging on about Finland in this channel when you don't live there anymore?
Well, maybe it just to share the experience she had, I don't see any problem with that...
Because she truly loves the country and wants to share her memories and stories with us. I find that very humbling and nice, she does a real good job!
Because of the reasons others have already commented. Also, I truly miss finland and this gives me a connection to Finns and finland, seeing as how most of my subscribers are finnish. It is a great place and opportunity for me to stay connected with a place and people that I cherish.
Somalies and middle-easter got more if they loose their passport on the way.
And lie your age!
