Hello everyone!

My name is Laura, I'm Spanish and I'm 24. I've been living in Finland for a year but I've just moved to Helsinki and I don't know anyone here. I thought maybe this forum is a good way of making new friends .

I speak fluent English and Finnish most of the time - sometimes my tongue says it's enough and I would just mumble but I think it's part of the game... I would like to meet people from Finland or anywhere else, to hang out, go to gigs... whatever.

Hi Laura, Hi Everybody,

I about to traveling in two or three months to Europe and one of the countries on which I have been thinking about establishing on is Finlando. I hope you can share us some information about the life in that country. Do you think it is difficult to live there and to get a job as engineer being foreigner?

Regards,

P, I'm sorry for posting in spanish, I did not notice.

Hi, I am also quite new in Finland/Helsinki, I speak fluent Czech, and lets say very good English and I could definitely use some more friends over here.
