Have been to 60+ countries and Finland makes my top 5. It is tough to beat Norway, Switzerland and Japan; but I have absolutely loved every minute I have been in Finland. Just so nice, stable and interesting. I want to go back right this minute !!

I have a youtube spat with an American (USA) who does not understand we are ok paying taxes and are not obsessed by "more money" in continental Europe, with Finland being the best example of this philosophy. He thinks it is wonderful that there are 22 million millionaires in the USA. What's the point? How many cars/houses/garments/meals can you enjoy at any onetime? I am happy to think that my taxes mean fewer people will be homeless/destitute due to unpayable medical bills. And we feel safe, nobody to randomly shoot us, the freedom to walk everywhere, and if it is far, there is a train, a tram, a bus.

I would absolutely love to move to Finland! I’m always torn between shame and pride being an American we have good things but we have a whole lot of bad things too and it seems like other countries align more with what I believe in and I would really really love to move to one of them.

TBH I don't really have pride in being American though yes we have a lot to be grateful for as well. Finland sounds almost too good to be true to me. IDK what their pandemic measures were like, I recall something very negative about many heavily socialized places...But it's a shame more countries don't try harder to provide clean drinking water for their citizens. I live in a blue state where 30% of our income is taxed by the state alone and I don't even like to bathe in our tap water.

Another American here! Hoping things improve but also loving the idea of Finland. LOL Just the clean tap water alone sounds like a DREAM! Our socialized healthcare here SUCKS in my experience (I was on it for the first few years of my first child's life along with my child and it was worse than just "rubbing dirt on it" and saying a prayer. ) I LOVE learning new things, swimming in winter (especially because where we live other people don't dare!) I too have an intimidating look but can be very friendly (when in the mood ofc.) I must be Finnish! 😄 Thank you for the information, blessings!

It's a great blessing to live in Finland and as a finnish person it's sometimes hard to appreciate the things that are so good here. However there are some really deep problems in this country. I feel like many people live in this "bubble" if they have only lived in the biggest cities (Helsinki, Turku, Tampere etc). Helsinki especially is a really cosmopolitan city where you are not judged based on your appearance or such things. But when you go to the countryside or some smaller city people are often racist and really prejudice. Anything outside the "norm", like being gay or from immigrant background is sometimes openly ridiculed in school, work or even the military. Public transportation is AMAZING in Helsinki but it sucks in the rest of the country. I'm from Eastern Finland and it was really common experience that if you missed the first bus in the morning there was no point in going to school because the next one leaves in 3-6 hours. There is also a great inequality when it comes to opportunities depending where you live. In rural areas healthcare sucks. You have to wait months to get treatment and even in emergency situations the closest hospital is sometimes hours away. There are no diversity in jobs in large parts of the country. Only work that is available is nursing or factory work. I grant that Finland has pretty good healthcare overall but it's still really segregated. Then there is the elephant in the room which is the finnish government. The current government is actively promoting populist racist ideology. This is not a conspiracy just look up what the True Fins (perussuomalaiset) are promoting. The government is also cutting support from single parents, students, low income workers, art, public healthcare, disabled etc. etc. In short they are actively hurting the most vulnerable financially and otherwise. Also the sentiment that Finland is the happiest country in the world is based on living quality not actual "happiness". Finland has a huge alcohol and drug abuse problem. Older people tend to abuse alcohol and younger abuse drugs. Finland has the third or forth highest drug mortality rates in Europe. Even though I brought all these problems up I still feel extremely blessed and happy to live in Finland. This is a great and loving country and I truly hope that these problems are solved in the future. I just wanted to bring this up because many people have this picture in their minds that Finland is an utopian society where everyone is wealthy, kind and happy and this is sadly not the reality.

Hi Miska, Cameroonian here. First off, your english is excellent. Thank you for giving an objective first person view of Finland. I have always loved Suomi (as the natives call it) and I knew it wasn't perfect and you just confirmed that. Rightly so, no country is perfect and as true as it might be, some are better than others. It so turns out that Suomi is one of the better ones. I have been to a few other countries and if I were to judge based on what you are saying, Suomi would be top 5. Maybe I do not see it because I come from a far worse country and from my eyes it is almost perfect. Point is, overall from what I see online every day and from friends living in Suomi, it is a great place to live in. I am in the middle of deciding where other not to move there. I am equally stuck between Oulu and Ranua. Anyways that's too much gibberish. Thank you for you comment.

Suomessa aiheesta on tehty lukemattomia komedia sketsejä, lauluja ja yksi elokuvakin; Katsastus. Voisitko tehdä videon tästä?

As a Finn, I'm a little annoyed by this praise of Finland. At the moment, not all Finns are really happy. People's happiness in Finland has been based on the fact that they have had the security of life provided by the state. Today, that is no longer true. The policies of the current right-wing government make the poor and those with low incomes even poorer. Their ideal is the American model, where only the rich have a good time. This is commonplace in Finland now. A couple of years and Finland is number 100 in the happiness statistics, not number 1. 😟

It is Finland's fortune to have adults in government after leftist amateur government who thought magic wall spills money, country's debt is free and posing on magazine makes you great prime minister. Now when adults took over they have had enormour job to try to fix what lipstick-government left behind - after escaping from Finland. To prevent Finland sinking more, it requires cut on expenses. Of course socialists are crying for loosing their communist utopia, but what else is new.

It's up to the poor to create value, not for others to pay for them. We are going broke since we have a dwindling and aging populating, and not enough workers to take care of the elderly much less to pay for them. We need a massive reform, and I'm all for 10-20% flat tax with social benefits being replaced by e.g. negative income tax. The social democratic system does not work with a disappearing population, with so many people having learned to be dependent.

I love your videos! I’m Finnish and never understood that Finland is actually a really good place to live until moving to California. After living with my family in L.A. for 6 years, I’m so ready to move back home. Life in Finland is so much more simple and less stressful, the food is healthier and tastier, people are actually friendly and not self-centered or superficial, the nature is clean, people live active lifestyles, cities are walkable, kids can go to places independently, life is not all about success and status, there are far less drug addicts and homeless, the safety is better, … the list goes on and on. Of course, there are good things about living in the US as well, but I never expected I’d regret moving to California. Hope to relocate back to Finland soon 🇫🇮

the whole tap water thing is silly. The same can be said for every advanced nation on earth that you can safely drink from the tap water and that the tap water is the same water in the toilets. This is not a Finland specific thing, it is a thing common to all advanced societies from Canada to Japan. I would say almost all your points are common to many countries in the west, if not all of them and to many other countries elsewhere. Tell us something that is unique to Finland that sets it apart from any other country.

People are better educated, have better paying jobs, and pay taxes instead of relying on public assistance. Very much of the things you describe are present in many European countries.

The world happiest country is so misleading and it’s exacly what you said, the report should be renamed as most content country. There are countries where people might have more wealth, but they might not be content. Mosty Finns don’t strive to be ”future millionaires”, (even though I woudn’t say no to the money ☺️) but we are happy if we have enough money, good friends and family, the knowledge that we have a safety net and the system that supports us in education, healthcare and etc.

Marja, I agree with you! And I guess the misleading title was chosen because The Most Content Country would't make those headlines and clicks... sadly such a country would be considered as a country of losers in a world where constant strive for more is normalized and praiseworthy.

Sure you're not just flatterin'? 😉 Right now, when you look out the window, I can't see anything good about FIN. I need to go to GA or FLA.☀️ Seriously, I take your word for it. Also, we sometimes need "an outsider" to remind us of how good a place Suomi really is. We tend to take some of these things for granted. Thank you for your kind words. As a na- tive, they mean a lot. Our dark season, autumn, is around the corner but every time we see you smile - it easily equals to the sun and puts your followers and fans in a good mood. Key-toes ! Proud to be a Fin(n)! Your videos are fun, entertaining and informative. Looking forward to them also in future. 🇫🇮 🇺🇲 Finn Power.

You should try to live outside south of Finland. I don’t complain, but here where we have smaller cities busses come like twice a day or so, we need cars to go everywhere, we have limited changes of health care for people who have problems for example. When I go to Helsinki to study (by train over 400km from my home), I feel over exited about ordering food home or having more exercise because of the puplic transport and having all things near me. But there is no place like home, of course. So welcome to south Ostrobothnia 😍

@@Whocaresanymore970 Hahaha. Idiots like you prove that stupidity cannot be fixed. There are a billion Africans from Africa on this earth, so there are millions and millions of African geniuses. Genes have fuck all to do with culture, and genotype and phenotype are two completely different things. Genes do have to do with stupidity and you just proved you belong to the half of the population that has below average IQ, which by the way can be increased by education. Despite our exemplary schooling system, however, the mitigation did not work on you.

I was in Atlanta in a hotel and wanted to go for a walk.I did not get very far as there was no side walk. :D I went to reseption to ask where is it, and he looked at me and said there is none. I looked at him like , what, here do people go for a walk. He said in a mall or in a park. :D I ordered a cab and asked him to take me to the nearest mall. And people was all black or hispanic. I did not mid of course but as I returned for a nice shopping spree I asked again the reseption why only this group of population like to shop. He said oh he took you to the nearest mall thats for black people. I looked at him bit weird and said ok thank you. :D I mean after all Martin Luther King is from Atlanta so found it bit strange people go to separate malls. Anyway kiva että tykkäät Suomesta :)
