If you wanna be healthy, I think Finland is your number one choise. The organic foods are cheap enough here, very affordable if you ask me, the air is so clean, many lakes to swim in, you can pick berries and mushrooms in forests, and the cold climate allows you to do cold exposure training like Wim Hof, which has many great health benefits. And our local non-organic foods are known to be less filled with industrial toxins of all kinds like antibiotics and pesticides, than in most other countries, so even if you can't afford organic you're not that bad-off. I once slept 9 months in forests in finnish forests, and I had never been so healthy, not even a single minor health complaint of any kind. Except the lack of sleep because it didnt feel safe, especially in the beginning, even though was safe. That got better the longer you spent there though.
BTW I read this great book that does explain with statistics and all, why Finland is a very fantastic country: ruclips.net/video/ZJ90J4Qsj2o/видео.html I loved it!
Another great video. I have turned on many friends to the sauna. As kids, we would sauna and run out in the snow. Very few have a clue as to what that does for the spirit! One with nature!
You are extremely creative to show pros and cons, a great sense of humor and kindness, excellent. I'm about to work either to Fin or in Finland, very exciting ! Thanks
I really want to visit Finland. I bought an apartment in Spain from Finnish people. They were so lovely , left me instructions for everything and everything spotless , nice Ikea furniture , lovely people , really impressed .
@@espe1009 if you know where Mikkeli is then just drive 73km to north... Or just take the highway to Kuopio and at Mikkeli follow the signs and look for the sign for Pieksämäki. About 3-4 hour drive from Helsinki and you're here
I'd love to move to Finland from the US! I hardly know any Finnish yet though. I'm afraid of the cost of applying for citiczenship & moving. I don't know anyone there. I'd miss my family lol. But it's nice to dream about it. Maybe one day❤️
Im applying for a master's program in Finland. I hope to live and study in Finland this year. I have visted Finland three times. I've been to Helsinki, Rovaniemi, Turku and Hanko. I love the cold weather and peaceful vibe simply because I sweat a lot and hate crowded place. Wish me luck!
Hi! First of all, thank you for share all this information about Finland in English, although I intend to learn Finnish in the future, I'll need some time to get there 😊. Because of you, I can understand a little bit more about this amazing country where I am living now 💛. May I suggest a topic to a future video? The topic will be "how to pic berries in the woods". Which type we can or cannot eat, tips to find the plants, harvesting tips, etc. I'll love it! Thanks again for share the Finnish culture with us, great work!
i was in scandinavian countries a time ago and i couldn't visit finland because of the time but i hope visit it someday and maybe live there, you have very nice things, excellent video!!
I was almost packing up when I realized that sun sets early in the afternoon..... And I Loooove the sun light.... During the summer ill visit you tho... lol
It's awesome to see how you have upgraded your video production :) I saw you at Suomenlinna 2017 Summer when there was this rock event in Pokemon GO. I did not know your channel (you had like 1k and I had around 300 subs around that time) but we had awesome conversation about youtube, making videos, camera gear, etc. Last year I also decided to activate my channel and I have been on the grind for new videos ever since :) Switching to English is probably my next step.. Hope to see you again sometime in the future :)
Great video Aleksi! Apart from the good things, you could do one about what people tend to say are the "negative" ones, so we can see if they are exagerating or not!
I have an admission offer from a Finnish university and your videos are helping loads with helping me decide if I should accept it or not. I'm still not quite sure yet (watched the "Don't move to Finland" video before this one haha) but hope I will soon figure it out. Thank you!
@@grettorotto Speaking to you from Finland rn :) This was one of the best decisions I took in my life. Yes Finland has its downsides(weather, people are a bit on a colder side, the language) but also the peace I feel here compensates for it. Most people are very helpful and honest, everything is very practical, it's a really safe, neat and peacefully quite place, everything is in order and the nature is magical. I'd like to try living somewhere else just for the sake of comparison, but so far Finland has been good enough; specially in the summer ;)
@@poppypeppers that's amazing, I'm glad to hear your positive experience! I'm about to study Adventure Education in Finland and nature and peace is the biggest reason I'm going there. Thanks for sharing and keep enjoying it🙂
Excellent video man. You forgot to mention the northern lights in your country. It’s one of the best spots to catch them. I go to North of Kittïla every winter just for that. But you might have done a video about earlier which I don’t know about. Keep doing the good work !! Greetings from France.
I grew up with a sauna on the farm my family founded when they came to America. My neighbors called us “the naked family” and I thought it was hilarious! My neighbors and classmates were scandalized when they heard about how you use the sauna and that my family is clothing optional. I thought my neighbors were uptight and they were positive I was a slut. I found the whole thing rather funny
Perkele! You've convinced me haha. I'll be going there next July on holiday but I hope I'll stay there for a much longer time during or after my studies (I'm only 17 years old). :D
With regards to point 1, I have personally experienced this. While getting lost at the Espanjalainen kauppa - El Marcado, I put my camera down and walked off without it. I didn't realize this until some time later so I ran back to the market and began looking around for it. One of the vendors noticed I was looking and asked if I was missing something and I said, "Yes, my camera" and they showed it to me and I said that was indeed mine and they handed it over. Anecdotal? Yes but it seems to line up with what you are saying about Finns being honest.
Aleksi, you are so fun to watch! Thanks a lot. Make a video about the Finnish sense of humour, please. It is seems so normal in Finland that humour is a fun thing, that it is almost invisible to Finns themselves how much fun they create - and love. And the self-irony more than anything. Even Finnish presidents joke and make pranks. From, for example, a Swedish point of view, that's unbelievable. In Finnish and Swedish we don't have words that exactly translate "Please" or "Bitte", and that might make us not only seem rude, but even barbarian. Please, make a video about that, too, will you, could you, would you? So often in our own languages we use konditionalis and the verbs for can/be able to instead in the form of questions - foreigners might totally misjudge this, I am afraid, as us just not being fluent in English/German, and rude on the top of it. We also use a lot "Kiitos" and "Tack" to show how polite, grateful, and delighted we are. When we use these words of thanks (translated) foreigners just think we are odd, totally missing our different way to be polite. Regrettably foreigners are often also not at all used to the fact that cultural differences exist down to this level. For them their own ways are, or should be, the only normal ways. They might need a bit more education on this topic, so please, help them, dear Aleksi! Sorry for pointing out this lack of global outlook so directly, but it is just that Finns hate to be untruthful, because they want to be absolutely reliable, and therefore there is no rudeness/poor upbringing implied by being outspoken, at least in most cases. Keep having fun and entertain us with your videos! Kudos to you!
Ole hyvä! Ei mitään kiittämistä. I'm just watching now, one video at the time; thanks for cheering us up! :-) Have you BTW noticed that the English really don't know how to say "Ole hyvä, Olkaa hyvä(t) or Varsågod(a) either - Here you go! (!!!) - that's not my idea of politeness! ;-) What do you say?
Me and my fiance wanna move to Finland one day,it's our dream but we're little afraid because we don't speak the language very well(we just started learning) and it's very hard to find a job for us because we come from Serbia that is not in the EU.... But we won't give up :) we're hard working and honest people that wish for everyone to follow there dreams just like we do.... Kittos for your time Aleksi you're awesome.dude ♥️
I think the hardest part would be getting a job, I’m visiting here as a tourist and every single person I’ve spoken to had better English skills than I do
I wish to raise my future children in the future in Finland for the amazing education system. 😂 wait till I have a couple of children and my husband agrees, we’ll work something for it. Hahaha, anyhow, yes I have to agree. Finland is AMAZING! I love love love Finland and still remains one my favourite countries since I visited it many years back. ❤️🇫🇮❤️
Finland maybe does not have such things as beautiful skyscrapers, but Finland does offer great geography. Cleanliness, safety. And overall just seems like a really cozy country where the government truly does want the best for the people. And that is what matters to me.
Number one reason (its safe there), is something I agree with and miss in Sweden. Used to be really safe here. Until people who like to abuse the word "xenophobe" completely ruined it and turned it into a semirich thirdworld country... Be careful with your politics dude, dont be afraid to come off as xenohobic to preserve what you got there..
I completely agree about honesty. While working in a hotel I wasn't able to get paid through a Finnish family's credit card ( my fault) and they left without paying for their hotel stay but promising to transfer the money from their bank in Finland. Which, of course, they did. Love the Finns.
Aleksi Himself - Videos about Finland the criteria seems to be, if you have a parent who was a resident of Finland then yes, it is easier. But most Finnish-Americans have relatives who came to the US between 1890 and 1920. Which makes them our grandparents or even great-grandparents. But yes many of us do still have relatives in Finland we keep in contact with.
@@lcl7wrkr check www.migri.fi for more information. I had a friend who moved from America to Finland who had a similar story as you. It was funny because he introduced himself as Finnish but couldn't speak a word 😂. Should try that website out, it's the official site of the emigration office.
I feel called out on the "people leeching off of social security benefits" 😂 Seriously though, it's also a problem here in Portugal, as a reminder of our colonial past we get a lot of people from ex-colonies which are leeching off our tax money. As an introvert that can't handle the heat very well thanks to MS Finland sounds like a great and peaceful place to live! Great content! You got yourself a new sub :)
Thanks for all the valuable information, please my dear Aleksi, whenever tuition fees for international university students are not required, then please let us know, and thanks a million 👍🏻
@@AleksiHimself that's right brother, as I know, university students outside of EU can have about 30% of the tuition returned back if they have good marks. 👍🏻
Hi, Aleksi, like your video. I gonna move from Germany to Finland, the new adventure ahead makes me quite excited. Although I might get less savings than in Germany (less salary and higher expenses unfortunately 🙈) but I believe that I will not regret it. The forrest is really nice, but is there any bear in forest? Little bit worried.🐻
I would love living in Finland. My great grandparents were born in Helsinki and met there. Then moved to America to start a family. I love that there’s basically zero crime rate - in America holy shit our crime rate 😂 it’s bad. Btw your English is spot on 😀love your vids
Thanks for the video! Just a note that there are far more immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers that come to Finland to work, pay taxes, and contribute to the country than not. Just like there are also plenty of Finns that don't want to work and just live off benefits. 🙂
One of your most awesome & informative vid, Aleksi! I went to Finland by myself and I felt incredibly safe out there, I had absolutely no need to look over my shoulder and stuff lol. When I’m done taking my intensive Tour Directing & Guiding course in 2 months I’ll see if it’ll be possible for me to get a job out there. Thanks once again dude! 🤘🏻
Aleksi Himself - Videos about Finland Yes probably but I also want to visit some other countries so it’s fine to wait a little. I’ve made very good experiences with Duolingo :)
I agree! I have been here for the past 2 years and I feel super safe walking alone at 11PM, everyone minds their own business and even the drunk people, they manage, in their wobbled walk, to puke, in a corner, still have zero finish friends :D but hey I blame it on the pandemic 😅

Scotland often looks to countries like Finland as an example of how to look after its citizens and nurture a happiness/wellbeing economy.
Finland should perhaps make it easier for us Finnish-Americans to move there.
is it that hard? especially if you allready have finnish passport?
Gibbetoo Gibgib it’s difficult, even though our grandparents came from there. A lot of us wish to return.
I don't know the criteria in detail but if you have Finnish relatives, it might be easier.

The forrest is really nice, but is there any bear in forest? Little bit worried.🐻
Where is the video you did about Finnish heavy metal and music scene? I can't seem to find it and I am very interested in the subject
Finland seems like a model country.
Yep!
🇫🇮♥️ Finland is my favourite country.
Good stuff!
Diana K mine too!
I would love living in Finland. My great grandparents were born in Helsinki and met there. Then moved to America to start a family. I love that there’s basically zero crime rate - in America holy shit our crime rate 😂 it’s bad. Btw your English is spot on 😀love your vids
Thanks for the video!
Just a note that there are far more immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers that come to Finland to work, pay taxes, and contribute to the country than not. Just like there are also plenty of Finns that don't want to work and just live off benefits. 🙂
I think I got my Finnish citizenship at the age of zero without being able to speak Finnish or Swedish, now I speak them both.
Damn... How much I want to get there ;) thanks for video
Thanks for the comment PawKrzykw!
I'm tired of dishonest and rude people in my country.
What country is that?
Philippines worst at all aspects never been fooled by anybody my country is the existing Hell on Earth.
Ok.
Finland and Japan are very similar, both in the good things and the bad things
Can you make videos about the life in Finland?
Can you give some examples please? I have made quite a few already.
I'll mmove to Seinajöki, I do for some 6 month from August on. Looking forward to it, I really hope to get some job offers there :D
You need to hunt the jobs but it's possible.
Thanks so much to Jari Litmanen to play and tutor others in Amsterdam
One of your most awesome & informative vid, Aleksi! I went to Finland by myself and I felt incredibly safe out there, I had absolutely no need to look over my shoulder and stuff lol. When I’m done taking my intensive Tour Directing & Guiding course in 2 months I’ll see if it’ll be possible for me to get a job out there. Thanks once again dude! 🤘🏻
Good stuff man!
I can't wait to be in Finland ❤
Good stuff! 😃🙌
I thought you were gonna say 13 out of 12 wallets were returned 😆
I would like your comment, but you have 13 likes.

Thanks for the comment Elezar Sumayang!
Almost makes me want to pack my bags. If only your winters weren't so harsh.
You'll get used to it quickly.
Just waiting for the Finnish course on Duolingo and then maybe I’ll do some workaway in Finland.
THere are plenty of other apps for Finnish out there.
Aleksi Himself - Videos about Finland Yes probably but I also want to visit some other countries so it’s fine to wait a little. I’ve made very good experiences with Duolingo :)
I heard about the education system in Finland and i promised to myself that my kids (if i have them) will only study in Finland.
Good stuff!
I agree! I have been here for the past 2 years and I feel super safe walking alone at 11PM, everyone minds their own business and even the drunk people, they manage, in their wobbled walk, to puke, in a corner, still have zero finish friends :D but hey I blame it on the pandemic 😅
Good stuff! 😃🙌
@@AleksiHimself Hei 👋 Aleksi, kiitos for the video! Intresting content, keep up the great work! 👍

As in my knowledge i know that study is not free but it is actually very expensive in Finland
I have a question please, is that true if a student in finland get married to a finnish girl he will be able to study for free ?
How can I migrate to Finland without no stress....any advice pls
@@abdallahdahman2710 yes but you change your religion first 😂😂
We have a similar issue in the UK where people move here just for the benefits (the money thing). So you can earn money without having to work ):
Thanks for sharing this. :)
I'm in the US and I drink at LEAST a gallon of coffee every day. I hope you know that Finland isn't the ONLY coffee country. BTW, I live in a State that has 10,000 natural lakes and 2,000 manmade lakes.
Good stuff!
Haha, I enjoyed this.
If I could move to other country in my life it would be probably Finland
Also because you have kotipizza and hesburguer, snow , and a lot more things ❤️
Haha I'm surprised you know about those things.
I agreed with you 100% safe country to lived & mostly Finn people are honest..👍💕
Thanks for the comment Marie N.!
@@AleksiHimself Ole hyvä Aleksi👍😘
I really love lived in Finland 😘😍
my kind of people❣
And finland has the most metal bands per capita. Best country ever imo
Tällaiset videot pistää kyllä miettimään että onpas täällä asiat kertakaikkiaan hyvin. Yleensä se on niin paljon itsestä kiinni :)
