I am also worried about this. I would be spending a year there.
I am really keen to know people who have moved to Finland.
Having a few friends before moving in to Finland would be ideal.

Just contact us once you move here :) Don't worry, it's not as boring as you think it is, but yeah sometimes, you need to learn to be on your own :( and to learn not to smile to everybody.
