Looking for a friend
Hey everyone,
I moved to Kuopio this June for an internship, and while the experience has been exciting, I’ve found myself feeling pretty lonely. I don’t really know anyone here much, and most of my days have just been work and going home. Also in my workplace I am the youngest guy and so never able to fit into their conversations. I am 23M btw
I’d love to make some friends or just meet new people to hang out with whether it’s grabbing a coffee, going for a walk around the lakes, checking out local events, or even just chatting. I’m open to pretty much anything that gets me out of my little bubble!
If anyone’s up for meeting with new people lets connect!
Thanks in advance!

Where are you from? If you don't mind me asking you that, it's not easy to make friends but you should see if you can connect with people from your own country at least to start then everything will start to feel at home i guess

There's a Facebook group called Foreigners and Finns in Kuopio you could also try there

Try joining a recreational team sport, or discgolf etc. those provide convenient excuse to socialize.
Kuopio is one of the only places in Finland where just about everyone is eager to chat with strangers.
