Siiri Nordin, a Finnish musician, experienced a life-changing moment about ten years ago when she became disenchanted with her life in Helsinki. Despite having a promising band and good music, she found herself struggling to maintain a career in an industry undergoing significant changes. Furthermore, the vibrant city she once knew was losing its charm; as she noted, her friends were moving away, and the city seemed to be transforming in an unsettling way. Feeling isolated and uncertain about her future, she contemplated a change.

Her life took a new turn when a simple phone call from a friend reignited possibilities. While venting about her frustrations living in Helsinki, her friend suggested that Nordin should consider moving to Salo, where her friend claimed there was a job opportunity and a place for her to stay. After a brief moment of hesitation to assess the practicality of the move, Nordin received a follow-up call from her friend with the details of an apartment and job waiting for her, which solidified her decision to relocate.

Now, years later, Siiri Nordin has happily settled in Salo, surrounded by nature, and reflects positively on her decision to leave the hustle and bustle of the city. She appreciates the tranquility that comes with her new living situation, and despite the fear of the unknown that comes with such a significant life change, she expresses no regrets about her move, stating that her life in the woods has brought her joy and fulfillment.
