Hi,
I am Henrik and I am 34 (for now it is about me).
I moved to Turku from Helsinki because I got a Job here. Since most of my friends are in Helsinki, it is a bit boring for me here in Turku (to be honest not just a bit but a lot!). Practically (and also in theory!), I don't have any friends here. I just reached upon this website and wanted to give it a try ( is it a wise thing to do? who cares). I am wondering if there is anyone out there interested in a chit-chat over a coffee and to talk about wide range of topics from art to technology and from music to natural sciences.
Making a friend should be started from somewhere.
Are you in for a constructive joyful ride? (it sounds like what they say in ads, oh my goodness!). If yes, I will be more than happy.
Cheers,
Henrik
Socializing in Turku (or can Henrik make it in Turku?)
Hei Henrik! Welcome to Turku!
There are several groups on Facebook where you can connect with local English-speakers.
Check out IESAF TURKU and Expat Turku Network to start with. Thereafter it depends what your interests are. There are groups for students, families, football & rugby, church and more. . . Come and introduce yourself

Kiitos paljon Maria!
I will surely check them out. An (English) book club/forum/group would be perfect! Do you know any of these here in Turku?
Cheers,
Henrik
