I can see this mostly in the museums, ( ateneum is a favourite) old cafés that have been at the same place, even looking the same way from the last century( such as ekbergs) and ofcourse  all the parks in the summertime. 
After living in Helsinki on Abrahaminkatu for 7 years I moved to Paris for a while. Finding these same elements made even Paris eventually feel like home.  

Important to me: KINDNESS, mid- century architecture philosophy, dancing alone, culture trough culinary experiences, sleeping, making art. ]]> 2017-10-12 07:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196307811 Nadia https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196311925 For most of my life i have lived in Gothenburg, Sweden. Now however my most local place, my home, my base is Stockholm, where i have lived and spent the last 6 years. I can miss the west coast and Gothenburg sometimes, because it feels more friendly. 

Even though i haven't travelled that far (from Sweden to Finland) i consider this exchange to be a great journey. ]]> 2017-10-12 08:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196311925 Marco Rodriguez https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196312577 I feel local, Mexico City, Helsinki and maybe a little bit in Madrid, I lived Mexico city, in Madrid and in Helsinki. is important, my time, the people that I care, family in Mex. friends.

I am a good observer/analyser. I'm also a pathologic music seeker, DJ and totally amazed by every form of creation.]]> 2017-10-12 08:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196312864 Hanna https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196316818 I feel most local in Espoo-Helsinki where I've lived for most of my life. I've travelled a lot and lived in Singapore and England. Maybe because of this I feel local in new places rather quickly. 
I like quirky and even "shitty" small towns, local news and as a hobby/addiction I hoard plants and try to keep them alive. ]]> 2017-10-12 08:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196316818 Carlo https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196330068 Helsinki has been my home for the last 23 years. I feel local in many places here because i have lived in many different parts of Helsinki. With my dog Django i also get to know places you wouldnt go without a dog. Bicycling everywhere makes a city feel more homey. ]]> 2017-10-12 09:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196330068 Viivi https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196335985 I feel local in Helsinki where I have lived most of my life. Israel is also really important place for me. I have lived there for a while and it felt like home.
I enjoy hiking in nature, travelling (I'm interested in other cultures), art, architecture, design, drawing and movies.]]> 2017-10-12 09:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196335985 Soroush https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196339237 My hometown is Mashhad a city in Iran, however, I lived most of my adulthood in Tehran, capital of Iran. I’m getting used to lifestyle in helsinki at it’s becoming like my second home. 
I enjoy electronic music, fashion and comic books! In my feetime I make digital and analog collages.]]> 2017-10-12 10:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196339237 Eveliina https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196340368 I'm from Finland and I have lived in countryside for my whole childhood. Helsinki as a city is only a place where to do my studies and this is not the place where I feel most local. Tampere and the area around that is maybe the most pleasing place for me, even though I have never lived there. 

I love animals and different sports, and of course art and design.

I feel local in Finland in Kuopio where I lived 24 years but also in Helsinki where I have been living 3 years now. Time to time I have feeling I belong somewhere else and usually it depends on the place where I visit.

I love dogs and sculptures. Also I love to eat and hope its not evident and thats why I enjoy to exercise and to run. Eating is not the only reason why I exercise: I love to sweat and I think sweat is soul’s gift for the body as well art is body’s gift for the soul. ]]> 2017-10-12 10:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196340499 Julia https://padlet.com/carlos_mendsan/spacedesign17/wish/196343042 I feel local in Helsinki, where I have been living for around 10 years. Its rythm of life and finnish lifestyle suits me well. I also feel local in Nice, France, where I spent my summer holidays. I love its atmosphere and colours.
