Attitudinal Tips


These days, I have been thinking about my stay here, and about how quickly the things can change. As I said the entry before, “coronavirus” has changed the life of all the world in some days, and it is useful to value the things you have.

Now, if I reflect about my life in Finland, I can say that these two months I’ve been very happy. I’ve had everything I like: friends, very interesting lessons, an amazing practice placement and an amazing routine. Now, everything is different: my lessons and my practical placement have been cancelled, so now I only can learn online; and most of my friends are now in their home countries, and I didn’t have the opportunity to say them goodbye.

With these anecdotes I want to say that everything can change in a couple of seconds, so let me to tell you one tip: enjoy, please. Enjoy your friends, your family and your daily experiences. Every day, when you wake up, enjoy your day as it would be the last, because we don’t know the future, so we must enjoy the present. You are very lucky to have the things you have, enjoy them!

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. 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...

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.
