Jenny is originally from the Philippines and has lived in Åland for 27 years. When she first came to Åland, she experienced the place as small. Over time, that feeling has changed.
– In the beginning it felt boring, but at the same time calm and safe.
What Jenny appreciates most about life in Åland is the proximity to the sea and nature. Being outdoors is a natural part of everyday life, all year round.
– I love outdoor life. There are lovely walking paths, hiking trails and very good cycling routes. I have seen the northern lights several times.
When Jenny describes Åland to friends and family, she talks about a society where everyday life works smoothly. It is admittedly cold compared to the Philippines, but it is also a very good place to raise a family.
– We have good social security, life is calmer and everything is close by.
She feels that there is a clear connection between what each person contributes and what they get in return.
– For the taxes we pay, we receive both services and quality of life.
A tip for anyone considering moving to Åland is to do their research beforehand to better understand how the society works. For Jenny, Åland is an ideal society.
– I want to give my children the best sense of security in a well-organised and peaceful community.
