Welcome to Our Blog - A Note from Marii

Hi, and welcome. I’m Marii, the founder and CEO of Intero Integration and I’m so happy you are here.

Starting a new life in a new country is more than a checklist. It’s personal. It’s messy. It’s brave. And at Intero, we know that because all of us have lived it.

This blog is something I have dreamed of creating for a long time. A space for international individuals and families in Finland to find not just answers but also connection, clarity, and comfort. Whether you are still packing your bags or already wondering if Finland will ever feel like home, this blog is for you.

Why This Blog Exists

Relocation is more than logistics. It’s learning how the healthcare system works, where to find groceries that taste like home, how to register at the TE Office but also how to make friends, find joy in a new routine, and feel like yourself again.

This blog will be:

🌱 A resource hub for trusted, practical information

🤝 A community corner to share lived experiences and expert advice

💡 A space where our partners also share tips and tools to help you thrive

💬 A place for real talk - what moving to Finland really feels like

From our popular guidebooks (like how to drive in Finland, or understand the school system) to mental health stories, local hacks, and integration advice - we are next to you to make your new beginning a little easier, and a lot less lonely.

Why We Do What We Do

Intero was built because people deserve more than a welcome packet and a pat on the back. We offer three months of personalized integration support because we believe that feeling at home doesn’t happen in one day. It happens when someone helps you settle your paperwork, find your rhythm, discover your neighborhood, and simply checks in to ask how you are. Our support to you is always designed based on your needs.

We are not a relocation company. We are your support system. Your bridge between uncertainty and belonging.

And now, this blog is one more way we show up for you.

What You Can Expect

You will hear from me, from our team, from guest writers, and from some incredible people who have walked this path before you. We will post tips, tools, reflections, and inspiration - always with a human-first tone and heart-centered approach.

Expect blog posts like:

• “Things Nobody Tells You About Moving to Finland”

• “Where to Find Connection as a Spouse or Parent”

• “A Breakdown of Finnish Healthcare (That Actually Makes Sense)”

• “What I Wish I Knew My First Month Here”

We are keeping it real. Always.

You Are Not Alone

So many people arrive in Finland full of hope, and then quietly wonder, “Is this normal? Why is this so hard?” The answer is yes and you don’t have to go through it alone.

Let this blog be a place you come back to. For help. For community. For those small reminders that you belong here too.

And if you ever feel like you need more than a blog post - reach out. Our services for customers are designed to support individuals and families just like yours with relocation, integration, language, and life setup.

This is only the beginning. Welcome to the Intero community.

With warm wishes,

Marii Juht
