Aryan, Ålandsambassadör.

I haven't found a better place

Aryan originally comes from the Kurdish part of northern Iraq. After traveling around Europe, he has found a place where everyday life works and where both life and the future feel secure.

When he came to Åland, it was primarily the nature and the island itself that attracted him.
– I had never lived on an island before.

The first impression was positive.
– The nature, the sea, and how quickly you made contact with people made a strong impression.

Otherwise, it is the tranquility that he appreciates most about life in Åland.
– Everything is close by, no traffic, and a safe environment for families with children.

Close to both nature and work, he has found his balance.

A great whole

The reasons to stay are many.
– The language, the kind people, and how simple everything is in everyday life. Dealings with authorities run smoothly and you live close to both nature and the sea.

For him, it is about the overall picture. After having traveled around several European countries, the conclusion is clear.
– I haven't found a better place. It's simply fantastic!
