Foreigner, immigrant, resident, alien, newcomer, stranger, non-Finn, [insert your nationality here], visitor, tourist, expat, minority, migrant, settler, floater, exchange student, finnophile, English speaker, international student, asylum seeker, refugee, outsider, gypsy, wanderer, outlander, nomad, new kid on the block: all words for people who don’t belong.
But what happens when noneĀ of these words seem to fit quite right?
When we know we’re so much more than a term, but having one would just make things feel simpler?
Which one are you?
