People!


As I said some entries before, my main objective was to meet people from different countries to learn from them, and to get it, I came alone. Before start Erasmus you always think at least once what could happen if you don’t meet people. It is imposible! Here everybody meet people! This kind of programs are for this, so everybody has a very opened mind and like making new friends everyday. 

So, if someone is reading this blog and want to come to Finland for Erasmus, don’t wonder! I think it is one of the best destinations you can choose.

Finnish people is so kind, I met a few of them and they are very friendly. The first night I didn’t have where to sleep, and I slept in a finnish girl’s house, she was so kind! They always want to help people and if you speak with them respecting their personal space, they will be comfortable.

But here I haven’t met people only from Finland, I met people from so many contries! I’m living in Student Village, and here there are so many Erasmus people. I live with people from Italy, Belgium, UE, Hong Kong, France… and Spain also! It is amazing to spend time with different people everyday, and we are not too much differents! For example, I met three girls that are scouts like me! Juliette from Belgium, Caroline from France and Dana from Germany. Wherever you go, you would find people with the same values as you. It was the reason for I wanted to live that experience, it is something that everybody must experiment!

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. The Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare is the responsible of Spain for proposing and executing the Government policy on health, planning and health care, consumption, cohesion and social inclusion, family, child protection and care for dependent or disabled people. It is the responsible also for exercising the powers of the General State Administratio...

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! If you are waiting for a bus, be concentrate because you must do a signal to the bus driver! If you don’t do it, he won’t stop.

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.
