    Emmi, you did an excellent job filming. It was quick, simple and focused -- just right! It kept moving along and maintained my interest. Finland, where you live looks so clean, peaceful and beautiful! I've only been to the airport and had the best herring there--EVER! Thank you for a relaxing video.

    What a meaningful and relaxing week! I visited Helsinki back in June 2001, and I have high regard for this city. Buildings, forests, lakes, and food (especially creamy salmon) are all lovely. Hope that I could have a chance to visit it again.

    Hello,
    Great video !!
    I'm of Finnish descent and have met some of my relatives a few years ago who described to me the country. But it's much better to see it, thank you.
    Maybe some day I'll travel there to visit.
    I live in Arizona in the High Desert and building a sauna and very energy efficient house as I'm a mechanical engineer.
    Keep up the great work !

    Just so you know, we had a Spring snow storm here in Illinois, USA yesterday too. We call it Spring in the MidWest. Oh, hey, I use Sensodyne too. Good stuff. I wish you would do a vlog on Helsinki and the history and the fact that it's a sea port city. That would be helpful and interesting. Also, Finland's juxtaposition to Eastern Europe. Thanks, Emmi La. Have a great week.

    "Aprilletje zoet heeft soms een winter hoed" - April is sweet but sometimes it can wear a white hat. This is a cute say in Dutch that rhymes and makes a lot of sense to me! I booked a mini road trip thorough Ireland during Easter holiday just because my bf is obsessed by the culture there, but my option number one was Finland! Lovely snaps Emmi!

    This was a great video! I'm knitting wool socks while I watch it, and it was fun to see your little socks that you wear at work. I live in Washington State (USA) and the lightness/darkness is similar to in Finland. I'm so grateful to see sun at 6am and it's still around at 7pm! Spring and summer are the best in the northern hemisphere. 😍

    Thank you so much for sharing this! This is the first video of yours that I've seen, so I just subscribed. I lived as an exchange student in Helsinki forty years ago, so this brings back wonderful memories. I lived on Urheilukatu, and I used to wander the city streets for hours. Helsinki has definitely changed, but there are still enough recognizable buildings and sites to remind me how much I love Finland!

    Here Picardy the we had been having tee shirt weather but we ended un in the deep freezer by Thursday and the big joke for the first of april was snow. I threw winter fleece on all my pots. The poor plants don’t Know if they are coming or going. And temperatures will go up again on tuesday. Talk about a roller coaster!

Und am nächsten Wochenende fliege ich hin. Ich habe ein paar Wörter auf finnisch gelernt: was für eine nette Sprache! Ich kann mir gar nicht vorstellen, dass man in dieser Sprache fluchen kann. Sie klingt so ausgesprochen freundlich... Viele Grüße an dich, deine Familie (zu der natürlich auch die Hundchen gehören. Ich liebe sie!) Susanne aus Berlin

  • @Marisolita_95

    Thanks for showing my beautiful ex-hometown. I was born and raised in Maracaibo, Venezuela. Me & my parents moved to Helsinki when I was 14 yrs (my mom is originally from HKI). I recognized a lot of familiar places, like at 6:38 you were near Ruoholahti where I lived after I was graduated. I think that bridge was a Crusel's Bridge or 'Lepakkosilta' (Bat Bridge). I little bit disagree with the fact that 'usually we have the last snowfall in April'...well, it's possible but Unlikely. The climate in Helsinki and the whole of Finland is unpredictable, you never know what you will get lol. In any case, very often Helsinki has clear signs of spring to be seen in April, in fact, I've seen buds in trees and bushes as early as March. And you're right, Helsinki is absolutely at its best in summer, my fav places to go to enjoy the summer were Tervasaari, Merisatamanranta, Seurasaari etc...and of course Ruoholahti channel which I used to live next to. Today I'm living in Las Palmas, working in the health care sector. We have no snowfalls here lol, but also no fresh water + relatively dry nature. Ok, sorry for the long comment, didn't mean to bore you with it. All the best to you! 💜 Te mando un fuerte abrazo 💜💕💜 mástarde, amiga! ❤️ Hasta luego!

    I’m jealous that it gets light so early in Helsinki. Since we went on daylight saving time at the beginning on March it doesn’t get daylight until after 8 a.m. here in the Midwest U.S. I like early morning sun since it makes it easier to get up. Your salad looked yummy. I started using white balsamic vinegar on salads last summer. Off topic of the video but do the people of Finland practice Hygge? I have Meik Wiking’s book on happiness which talks a lot about Hygge. Pia Edberg’s “The Cozy Life with Hygge” is also good.

    Hey Emmi! I hope my message finds you well! Your videos have boosted my wish to visit Helsinki, and I'm so lucky I won't have a time limit since I recently changed jobs and work exclusively remotely. Seeing your daily life, but also the way you choose to spend your free time fits very well with the things I like to do. So, I thought you might be the right person to ask for some tips on what to do and which places to visit in Helsinki. Suggestions from a local are always much more noteworthy than those in any travel guide. Perhaps, this would be also a great video idea. What do you think?

    Good video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
