    Thank you so much for watching! ❤ I’m planning to do a little Q&A in my next video. So if you have any questions, just write them below and I’ll try my best to answer them. Can’t wait to chat with you all! 🤗

      Q.1 If you don't work how do you make your living and does it cover all your expenses?
      Q.2 How expensive is Finland?

      Q1: How did you decide to resettle in Finland? Was Finland your only option or did you think about other countries as well?
      Q2: Do you have any plans for the future? Are you planning to stay in Finland for a long time?
      Q3: Which languages do you speak? Are you actively learning any language?
      Q4: What do you miss the most from your home country? What would you miss from Finland if you moved back to Ukraine?
      Q5: Are there things you have still not gotten used to in Finland?
      Q6: Does your boyfriend/fiance/husband help you with doing TH-cam?
      + I would love to see a video of your normal day from waking up to going back to sleep. :)

    First time here. I am glad to have clicked on this video. I was feeling hopeless and somehow by the end of this video i felt that it's okay just take things one day at a time i don't need to have everything planned. It also helped me with feelings of being a failure because i have been trying an unconventional career path and till now have not gained financial stability. Thank you for sharing 🙏

    I really think you should think about going to a school to study filming and start thinking about a career in making for example documentaries. Though you could probably already make nature documentaries to your youtube. I think you have a great visual eye for details for nature in general and I am sure that finnish tv production companies would be interested in hiring you if you just show some of the videos that you have done on youtube. Also maybe some big youtube channels would pay you for making documentaries about nature and life in general.

    • @lifebyolia
      @lifebyolia  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much for the encouragement and kind words! It really means a lot to me that you think I could take this path. I’ve thought about exploring documentary filmmaking more. Maybe one day I'll take that next step and see where it leads.

    It does look like you may have found a good compromise for yourself, this semi- leisurely life you have chosen. Because there is a lot of practicality in much of your leisure time, this also gets excellent food on the table, and a nice place for your husband to come home to. I know I used to dream of fame for myself when I was younger. Before the industrial revolution the sun was your clock, there were few things to read about and lust after and your immediate surroundings was a person's life. It's great if one income is enough for a family to prosper and something tells me that as you grow in this new life of yours you will stumble into ways to supplement your income while keeping those leisurely pursuits that make you happyl

      Hello! Thank you for your message. Finding this compromise and building balance has been a journey for me, and your words made me reflect on why I chose this path and how much I’ve come to appreciate this lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your own reflections and for your kind words, it’s always great to hear from you. Yes, it's getting colder here, the trees are already leafless and some nights the temperature drops close to zero. But in some ways here it feels even more peaceful like this. Thank you again for your comments, and wishing you a wonderful end to the week!

    Thank you for yet another beautiful video. You capture the beauty of the Finnish nature in a way that makes me miss my home country so much even though I just moved to the neighboring country of Sweden. I'm very curious to find out if you found any common traits between the Finn ish people and Ukrainians, as we share the same neighbour to the east I'm curious to hear you opinion if this has made us more alike? Also are there any culthural similarities that you can think of between Ukraine and Finland? Again that you so much for great content in your videos. Hope you'll have a great autumn!

    Hi Olia,i can imagine how you feel about your choice. Money and success isn't the capital in life. In my case....there was a chance for me to reach the next level in the Company where i work since 1999.but i say no......for 120 € more at the end of the month....60% more work,70 % less time for my family and 80% more traffic on the streets.....no way.....very nice Video again...greets from germany, tom....all the best again for u 2 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
