    Greetings from snowy Finland!

    Hey everyone!

    I'm Roosa, a 19-year-old student from Finland (yes, it's cold here). My boyfriend Chris, 26, is originally from England but is currently living in Hong Kong. We met in 2008 when I left an ad on penpal site and he answered me. I think he is a bit embarrassed about the way we met so he usually just says we met over the Internet but I find it quite sweet. Soon after that we started to talk on Facebook and later on MSN. We became best friends, spending hours talking to each other every and finally decided to meet 5 months ago. He visited me in June and that was the point when our friendship developed into something more even though we had had feelings for quite a long time already. He visited me also in September when I had just moved to a city 600 km (372 miles) away from my home town. I'm going to visit him and his family (oh my..) in two weeks' time so I'm very excited and nervous at the moment.

    I study at the university and he works as a commercial pilot. We met when he was still in training in Australia. We always try to talk even when he is staying in hotels around the world. I think I have become quite good at counting the time differences even though I'm terrible at maths. I also have a huge collection of postcards from around the world.. His job is not as luxurious as it sounds: in fact it's hard work trying to cope with the lack of sleep (caffeine!) and being away from home for 4 days at time but at least it enables us to meet each other more often.

    So I just want to say that I'm glad to be on here, around people who know how it feels to miss someone so much!

      Welcome to LFAD, Roosa. I think we have several other Finland/UK romances around here as well.

          Haha indeed they are. We do love our LFAD Finns though, and those whose SOs are Finnish. There's actually a Finland group on here. Welcome!

          If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion...love actually is all around

                        Moi! Kiitos and nice to meet another Finland-UK couple! I did run into her the other day, it was nice of her to welcome me. Is it storming there as well?

                          No
                          I stayed here cause of this huge storm that was meant to come here and make it dangerous for us to drive all the way to Tampere, yet it's not even snowing now Oh well, not complaining

                          Where in Finland are you from and where are you living now then?

                            It was storming here today so you could tell everyone that there was a huge storm in Finland that prevented you from going home.. Just not where it should have been. It wasn't that bad though, it was just a bit hard to walk home when the cold wind with snow was blowing in my face but that's Finland..

                            I'm from Oulu and living in Turku now.. You might have heard what people living elsewhere think about this city but it's not that bad. Where is your Elina from?

                              It's me now

                              I'm from Jyväskylä, always lived in this region We haven't really heard anything bad about Turku I've been there once and I thought it was beautiful there!

                              Yeaaaaaaaaahhhh.. guess it's meant to be snowing at midnight here but whatever, I have him here when I really shouldn't and I'm loving it Just hope he doesn't get sacked from work because of this
