Hi everyone,

My husband is due to start working in Finland in a few weeks - he’s never visited before.

He will either be based in Hamina or Kotka.

We are doing as much research as we can, but would really appreciate some help and advise on some of the following if possible:

Best things to do/places to visit at weekends (as he will be on rotation) to meet people

What would anyone recommend he take (if anything) from the UK

Are there expat communities or clubs for contractors?

Any general advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you ☺️
