What should I pack when moving to Finland?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Finland to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Finland, it is important to pack warm clothing, as the climate is cold and the temperatures can drop below freezing. It is also important to bring a good pair of waterproof boots, as the weather can be wet and snowy. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items of traditional Finnish clothing, such as a woolen hat and a pair of mittens. It is also important to bring a good supply of sunscreen, as the sun can be strong during the summer months. Finally, it is a good idea to bring a few items of entertainment, such as books, music, and movies, to help pass the time during the long winter months," explained one expat living in Finland.

"I wish I had brought ponds cold cream. Not missing much else! And more 3 pin to 2 pin plug converters- I forgot that all my electrical goods will need them here. I don't have any medical or dental records- maybe I should have requested copies of those. I wish I had left at home a lot of printed out info- it took up weight allowance moving and it's all available on the internet. Otherwise I travelled very light," said another expat in Helsinki, Finland.
