How do I meet people in Finland?
When we asked people living in Finland about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"I recommend the American Women's Club. They have special interest groups as well as monthly meetings. You can find them in the Internet and go from there. The Club includes Americans, Finns and international english speaking women," said one person in Helsinki.
"Expats in Finland often join clubs and activities such as language exchange groups, sports teams, and cultural events. Expats can also meet people by attending local festivals, joining meetup groups, or attending events hosted by the local expat community. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join online forums and social media groups related to their interests, as these can be great ways to connect with other expats and locals," said one expat who made the move to Finland.
