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.
Thanks Mikko for the great comment! I haven't looked much into organic foods myself, but this is some good info!
Hello Sir...
Finland, probably one of the best country models that exist nowadays! ❤
Thanks for the comment Elena!
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!
Elena Well there is less Wars
True :D
@@AleksiHimself I am coming 💓
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 .
Wonderful!
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
Thanks for the comment! You can do it!
I'll be there in Finland next February! I'm excited :D
Visit Pieksämäki!
@@SlendisFi_Universe is it far from Espoo?
@@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
Or just write Pieksämäki on your navigator.
@@SlendisFi_Universe Thanks for the info. I'll see if I have the chance to visit
Wow. I hope I could also visit Finland someday. In my opinion, Finland and Japan are the top countries with so much discipline. I love it! ❤️
You should!
I can speak Finnish my mum is from Finland and my dad is from England and I love speaking Finnish
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❤️
Have you ever visited Finland? You should do that first. :)
Me Too 🥺
Aleksi Himself - Videos about Finland can she stay with you?? Asking for a friend
You also have a job to move there.
I’m getting married next august. I’d love to have my wedding up in Lapland & get amazing pics of the northern lights
First time I heard "back in 2018"
Thanks for the comment Janco van der Westhuizen!
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!
한국 사람이다? 나도 핀란드에 가고 싶어!
Good luck and have fun!
Good luck
"kick-ass"
is his fav word
Awesome video, Aleksi! I can’t wait to visit this summer.
Thanks for the comment bebina!
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!
Thanks for the comment, feedback and the idea. I will write it down.
Also mushroom picking in forests? (Opettele tuntemaan myrkkysienet, syö vain sieniä jotka tunnet)
The things you mentioned made me want to move to Finland someday. Especially the nature part! I love being one with nature...
awe now I wanna move to Finland someday and raise my children there
I hope when I grow old enough the country would still be like that
Very informative vid. Thank you!
Good stuff!

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 😂😂
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 :)
Thanks for the comment ColdAir!
I'm thinking of doing my Masters Degree in Finland and I'm loving your videos!!! Thank you!!!
Are you currently in Finland for Masters? I am coming too soon
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!
The next video will be about reasons why not to move to FInland. :)
I thought you were gonna say 13 out of 12 wallets were returned 😆
I would like your comment, but you have 13 likes.
@@stalwart38 Same!
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
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!
i love where the part when the drunk guy say ohhh turkeyyy
I love that in Finland u have a lot of traditionsss, celebration days doing crazy stuff xDdd
Thanks for the comment Sabri23lintu!
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!!
Dude I am working on it, visiting in Helsinki right now and damn it’s lovely. That snow yesterday was truly like Narnia
Good stuff!
thx u finland is a good word 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🌸🌸🌸🌸💕💕
Im gonna move from sweden to
finland im half finn anyway
Thanks for the comment sonny sorsa!
@Freedom and Art Sweden is basically afghanistan lite these days.
@@perkele1989 why
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
Good stuff!
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.
Good tip!
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
Thanks for the comment Guga Gaidzak!
"crime people" that made me chuckle
Thanks for the comment Angelo Riolo!
Damn... How much I want to get there ;) thanks for video
Thanks for the comment PawKrzykw!
In Croatia, we don't know to much about Finland , your teach videos are great :D
Thanks for the comment Tomislav Prpic!
I was unconsciously breath with exactly in the same time. So funny. Just loves your video. Si informative. Come to Tampere
Thanks! I lived in Tampere for 6 years. :)
Your videos are genuinely so good!! 😀 I cannot wait to visit Finland!!! ❄
Haluan todella suomalaisen vaimon ☺️
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.🐻
Kiitos that was great
Thanks for the comment theowl152!
Moving this year from Canada!
Good luck & have fun!
Welcome to finland :)
Canada is better ,isn't it ?
Lol and here I am moving from Finland to Canada.
Welcome
Just found this channel, I may be going here as an exchange student!!!
Welcome!!
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!
Hey, did you move there at the end? If so, how is it for 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 ;)
@@poppypeppers3931 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🙂
Good video!
Thanks for the comment Julius W Kangashaka!
I really want to move in Suomi very soon. Hope things work out for me to move there 🇫🇮💙🤍
Sounds like a plan!
I live in Ireland I might be moving to Finland
Thanks for the comment Mairéad Brady!
Hehe, same here 😁
It's my dream to live in Finland ❤️❤️❤️
Good stuff!
Haha, I enjoyed this.
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.
my kind of people❣
That's it, I can only listen to the Korpiklaani discography so many times. I'm moving to Finland!
Good stuff! 😃🙌
Hei Aleksi!
rakastan suomea siirrän yritykseni sinne kiitos ihana kanava, ihanaa päivää! Omar Gabriel
wow...very well said,,,hope to experience that soon...how i wish to live there ❤️❤️❤️
I love nature

Thanks for the comment Elezar Sumayang!
Turkey !!
I love kabab
Lmao😂
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 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.
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.
Finland! I'm coming for Christmas! I am wondering whether shops and other public places are operating on Christmas?
We have public Christmas Markets. During 24-26 of December most places are quiet/closed.
Aleksi yesterday I wanna spoke with one girl but she’s started running so funny 🤣
I'm in Finland and it's fun I have a good life🇫🇮🇫🇮🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸💕💕💕💕🌺🌺🌺🌸🌸🌸
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.
Hello thank you for the video. May i ask some questions.
Iam from i ndonesia is it possible for me to get visa to findland and work there. And is it possible to only use engglish there to communicate and work? because i cant speak finnish. And is it hard to find job there for immigrants ?
Thank you so much.
sure i want to move there, but how do i get a job :>?

Brother may I ask u something?
Is it finland got good opportunities for djs ? I love to go there and want to work as a dj so I need this information
Ok.
Hello from India! Love Finland, I and my wife are thinking of moving there.
Good stuff!
Hey Shray I am also considering so. Please clarify what you analyzed. Which one is good USA and Finland.
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 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. ❤️🇫🇮❤️
Thanks for the comment Lala Qurra A Hashim!
Lala Qurra A Hashim don’t bring Islam there
I'm trying to start my Masters in Finland next year.
Sounds like a plan!
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!
Thanks for the comment and ideas!
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?
If my Finnish is wrong, please, correct the mistakes, so nobody learns any wrong expressions. Kiitos etukäteen! :-)
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.
This is it ^^
Finland heavy metal band Lordi won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007 with the song 'Hard Rock Hallelujah'.
I can't wait to be in Finland ❤
Good stuff! 😃🙌
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.
Your channel is best to watch about finland,❤ from india.
Thanks for the feedback!
Tejasai Alla are you moving to fin
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 ♥️
Hei! Jel ucis u Seuri? 😇
be brave and follow your dreams, hope all the best for you.
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
@@giovannifurfaro9647 dont mind it, no one does if they understand you and you them it should not be a problem.
As long as you know how to English you'll be fine
Does anyone have tips or advice for traveling to Finland for as cheap as possible? I'd love to go its just ridiculously expensive for tourists.
Nature,excellent education,beautiful people,its the best country in the world,the problem is the language,but I go live there next year,I love Finland
Thanks for the comment Anderson Santucci!
🇫🇮♥️ Finland is my favourite country.
Good stuff!
Diana K mine too!

Thanks for the comment Armored Night!
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
I love this guy
Thanks!
Scotland often looks to countries like Finland as an example of how to look after its citizens and nurture a happiness/wellbeing economy.
There actually is a central park in Helsinki, it's about 5km from the center.
:DD
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 👍🏻
Tuition is required for people outside EU but many schools offer scholarships/tuition waivers when applying.
@@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. 👍🏻
Wonderful Finland 💕💕💕👍🏼✌🏼🤔
Hello I'm currently still in school but I'm pretty sure I want to move from Germany to finland! But ive heard that it's very hard to get a job there if you don't speak Finnish... is that true? And would anyone recommend me as a German to move to finland?
I'm thinking of moving to Finland from Ireland in the future
Good stuff!
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 a lot & welcome to The Finntastics! :)
Thanks so much to Jari Litmanen to play and tutor others in Amsterdam
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.
Good stuff!
Finland seems like a model country.
Yep!
Can you make videos about the life in Finland?
Can you give some examples please? I have made quite a few already.
I wish if ican man , finland is my dream destination !! i would be the happiest person who ever lived if i can live there .
Make it happen!
What about any dangerous animal's? I love the woods and forest, do you have to worry about any bears or wolves or anything like that?
Hi bro im planning to move there im in the caribbean im a cobbler any tips i shouls know about please
Make a video on The Netherlands
What about military service though?
I served in my country and i am thinking of moving, either there or somewhere else.
In case of Finland will i have to serve again?
Probably you don't have. Besides, the army service is for Finnish citizens under 30 years old.
Can you please advise me how can i apply to join in finland life? Mean to work & sattle in finland
