Todd: Mariel, you are from Finland.
Mariel: Oh, yeah. Yes, I am.
Todd: What city are you from?
Mariel: I live in a city called Espoo, which is right next to Helsinki, but I was born in the center of Finland in a place called Jyvaskyla.
Todd: Right in the middle?
Mariel: Yeah, pretty much right in the middle.
Todd: So is that way out in nature in the forest, or is it a big city?
Mariel: It's a reasonable 1 size city, maybe the fifth largest in Finland, but it is very, a very natural place still. It's surrounded 2 by lakes and forests and lots of cliffs 3 and really beautiful scenery 4. Yeah.
Todd: Well, that sounds nice.
Mariel: Yeah. Yeah, I love it there. I go back there every year to visit my hometown.
Todd: Now does your family still live in your hometown?
Mariel: No, they live down south near Helsinki.
Todd: OK, is that common? Everybody moves to the big city.
Mariel: Pretty much, yeah. Especially young people. They want to get jobs and go to schools near Helsinki. Yeah.
Todd: Now is Finland part of the European Union 5?
Mariel: Yes, it is since 1995.
Todd: OK, so because it's part of the European Union do a lot of young people decide to leave Finland and go live in other countries?
Mariel: The Finnish young people are actually very outgoing and they're very interested foreign cultures so a lot of people take a year or two just to travel, just to see the world, visit some places, and yeah, a lot of people go out to other countries to study as well. Yep, mainly 6 Europe but also a lot of my friends for example went to India for six months or to South America.
Todd: OK. Sounds fun.
Mariel: Yeah.
Todd: But because you're in the European Union you can go live in France or Germany or Spain if you want, correct?
Mariel: Yeah. It's very easy. Just go.
Todd: But do most Finnish people prefer to stay in Finland or do a lot of people like to go move to warmer climates 7?
Mariel: Finnish people are very patriotic 8. We really love our country. We like to visit other places but I think even if we live abroad for a long time most people always some back to Finland. I think especially if they want to have a family because Finland is a very safe place and it's very good to raise your kids in Finland.
Todd: Sounds like a nice place.
Mariel: Yeah, I think so. You should come and visit.
Todd: Oh, I'd love to.
