A Spanish Girl In Finland

Hi everyone!
I'm Silvia Ros, a Spanish Girl in Finland since 01/01/2020.

To welcome you to my finnish life during the next 4 months, I'm gonna introduce myself briefly:

I live in Gijón, a very beatutiful city in the north of Spain, since I'm 6 years old. Now, I'm 20 years old and I study Psychology in University of Oviedo and Social Services in TUAS during the next 4 months. Since I was a child, I'm scout in "San Miguel Scouts Group", and I always loved travelling, meeting new people, discovering new things and learning from the people is around me, so come here with Erasmus program was the best opportunity to do it!

I came to Finland with the goal of improve my English and my sociable skills, but especially, to grow up by learning from new people. From my point of view, it is the most beautiful thing we can do in this life!

So, now you already know me a bit more 😊 Do you want to live this adventure with me? 😉

Spanish Social and Health Care System

In my last entry, I shared with you some information about Finnish Social and Health Care System. Maybe this is not as useful as the information about Finnish system, but now I want to share with you some information about the way of working of these systems in Spain. Maybe someone knows people living in Spain and need it! Social welfare and health care system Spain understands “health” by the same ecological and holistic perspective given by WHO, as Finland, so its main goal is to change and improve environmental conditions for people in risk of get diseases or have an unhealthy routine, to improve their life.

Curiosities and tips

When you arrive in Finland you think that everything is perfect and beautiful. We idealize so much the new places we go. And it is truth, it is an amazing place to stay, but there are some things that are so different if you compare it with Spain. Some of them are better, but others I think that I prefer the way we do it in my country. Read these curiosities if you will stay here! Maybe can help you. -Free water : one of the things that was more surprising for me was that in bar, cafés and restaurants, there is free water! You can spend your time in this place and drink water for free when you want, I think it is amazing! - Bus stop : about buses I want to say two things, but be careful with both!

Frozen Landscape

Winter in Finland is usually so cold and with so much snow, but this year it isn’t in that way! Since I’m here it only snowed twice, but it makes it more especial. When the weather is cold, everything is more beautiful. The landscape turns white, and a magic atmosphere surrounds it. One of the most exciting things I lived in Finland is see these magic landscapes, with snowed trees and frozen lakes. For me, one of the best places in winter is Hirvensalo, an island near Turku. There is a lake in the middle of the forest, and when it is frozen…. you feel free, quite, without stress or any worry. And if you are brave, you can try to walk on the ice! Nature is an awsome paradise that we don’t use to enjoy, but here you have the oportuniity to do it everyday.
