“The United States likes to advertise itself as the land of opportunity. And for many it may be. But Finland in comparison provides more opportunity. Not just for the young, but for the old and even the new.

 

I moved to Finland at the age of 30, I know it’s not that old, but I had a number of careers before coming here. In doing so I’ve been offered a lot of opportunities to ply new trades, learn new skills, meet new people and start a business or as many businesses as I want.”
