I’ve seen several times the TV program “Andalusian people around the world” (spanish TV program), but what I didn’t know it’s that exist the same format in other autonomous regions like Aragon. Via the interesting blog of Juan Llaneza, a spanish consultant working in Fjord (Helsinki), I’ve found out this video, where Iñaki Amate, managing director of Fjord shows some aspects of his life in Finland with his wife and son.
Both Juan and Iñaki work in Fjord, a creative company focused in the strategy and digital design of user interfaces, for mobile phones, web and TV. Their offices are strategically placed between Stockman and the Train Station of Helsinki, by the way, a street that I’ve passed many times during my Erasmus year in Helsinki. As you can see in the video, they have take care of the design of the office, it’s inspiring.
Most of Spanish people who are living here, as me, it seems have been put a spell on by a Finnish woman, that probably has met thanks to Erasmus, cupid of international coupes. Due to this and the fact that we are talking about Finland, a country full of technological leader companies plus the quality of life (it’s not everything sun in this life) makes very tempting the idea of develop your professional career in Finland. I’m talking mainly about professions related to technology.
In my case, the name of the sorceress is Päivi and we are almost 2 years together.
Cases as Iñaki, Juan and other people that I’ve found out recently, makes me think that I’m not the only one, you can feel a Spanish community ambient that feels good.
