My name is Aleksandra and I would love to meet some friendly people who could help me survive my first and probably the most depressing Finnish winter. :)

Hi SubconsciousMind,

Welcome to expat-blog!
You could maybe introduce yourself :)?
What are you in Finland for?

See you around,
Melissa

hi aleksandra!
we are already blog friends but we can get together any time! i would love it.
my first winter was really hard, record cold and snow/ice amounts. i kept telling myself the winters would get easier, i am now going into winter #3... #2 was easier than #1... i'll let you know about #3 :)
do you have any hobbies, interests or activities you would like to do with others or learn?
sewing, fiber arts (weaving, crochet, knitting, etc), cooking, pottery, walking, yoga, book club, etc?

hoping for some sunshine today!

Thank you girls for a nice welcoming. I like spending my free time in an active way. I absolutely love iceskating and I just can't wait for my nearest icerink to ''start working''. I think this might be one aspect of Finnish winter that I may actually enjoy.:)

Dear all newcomers,

Don't worry about your first winter. The second, when things are not so exciting anymore, would be certainly worst. :-)

Anyway, we can always work out something to bring some light to the dark winter. Any idea is more than welcome!
