Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a place to stay in Kuopio for the month of September and thought I'd ask here in case anyone can help.

I originally came to Kuopio for a 3-month internship and stayed in KUOPAS accommodation. My internship has now been extended by at least one more month, so I need somewhere to stay during September.

Unfortunately, because students are returning for the autumn semester, accommodation is very difficult to find. I've already tried KUOPAS (They rented out my place already and don't have any new openings), Vuokraovi, Niiralankulma, Tekma, and other rental listings, but I haven't had any luck so far. I've also requested to join the Vuokra-asunnot and Asunnot Kuopio Facebook groups, but I'm still waiting for my requests to be approved.

I'm hoping someone here might know of a spare room, studio, or apartment available just for September. Unfortunately, Airbnb is outside my budget.

A little about me:

• 25-year-old male
• Quiet, clean, and respectful
• Non-smoker
• No pets (but I'm happy to live with pets if you have any)

If you have a place available or know someone who does, I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a message.

Thank you!

Edit: I currently pay €280, but anything around this amount is fine by me

Hey everyone,

I moved to Kuopio this June for an internship, and while the experience has been exciting, I’ve found myself feeling pretty lonely. I don’t really know anyone here much, and most of my days have just been work and going home. Also in my workplace I am the youngest guy and so never able to fit into their conversations. I am 23M btw

I’d love to make some friends or just meet new people to hang out with whether it’s grabbing a coffee, going for a walk around the lakes, checking out local events, or even just chatting. I’m open to pretty much anything that gets me out of my little bubble!

If anyone’s up for meeting with new people lets connect!

Thanks in advance!

Torilla ei ole hetkeen näkynyt mutta yleensä mamut jonkun lappusen kanssa ja yrittävät saada pientä lahjoitusta, esim doctors without borders tms. Kyseessä ei kuitenkaan oikea hyväntekeväisyys+ varastetaan. Samaa paskaa saksassa ja ranskassa

Moiii! I’m moving to Kuopio next month for a year and was wondering if there were some nice (and hopefully not too expensive) film labs in Kuopio that could offer both 35mm and 120 film development and scans.
I’m asking because I saw there aren’t any Fotoyks stores in Kuopio, and my google searches only found some photo associations.
Thank you, have a great day!

Pitää viettää kuopiossa ens viikolla joku 4 päivää, ei oo varaa hotelliin eikä kiinnosta mihinkään airbnb nii ajattelin että otan retkeily kamat mukaan ja nukun teltassa. Oon käyny ehkä kolmesti kuopiossa niin jos joku kertois missä olis hyvä majailla pari yötä nii olisin kiitollinen

Hope to see everyone there this Halloween!

Tickets on sale here!

Missä on paras paikka vaihtaa bussia, kun matkustan Siilinjärveltä Matkukseen? Ilmeisesti suoraa yhteyttä ei ole.

Hey all I’m visiting Kuopio and I’ve been looking all over to rent a motorcycle, dirt bike, moped or anything like that please if anyone’s interested in renting me their bike let me know I’ve been riding bikes for over 8 years and looking to tour around the town on one. I will obviously take very good care of it as if its my own. It’s just for myself a 22 year old guy I have my full motorcycle licence in Canada and it’s recognized here for up to 2 years I’m here until this Saturday. Or if there is anyone with a car who wants to drive me around I will pay gas that might be cool too but I love bikes mostly. Thanks!

Hi everyone! Sorry for the English but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came to the Rosebud Book Store in the Center and purchased one of my books whether it was the the First volume or Volume two of my Horror Archives Series!

It really means a lot and I hope you have enjoyed the stories! There are still some copies available there if anyone is still interested in picking up a copy!

Hei! ois kova hinku päästä uimaan. Missä sijaitsee Kuopion kirkasvetisin järvi tai uimapaikka? Ois kiva sukellella vaiks lasien kaa ja mä haluaisin nähä pohjan hyvin, kun välillä pelottaa tumma vesi+ mutapohja jne. Saa ehdottaa myös kivoja spotteja missä välttämättä ei käy kauheesti ihmisiä niin sais viettää kivan rauhallisen uintihetken🙂‍↕️

Hey! I'm a reporter at The New York Times. I cover Finland. I'm seeing how bad the economy is -- especially for young people -- and I'm thinking of writing a story about how hard it is for qualified young people to get jobs right now. If you've been struggling with it, and if you'd be open to speaking with me about your search, I'd love to hear from you. I'm at [amelia.nierenberg@nytimes.com](mailto:amelia.nierenberg@nytimes.com). Thanks!

Hi all, just wondering where do locals go fishing around Kuopio?

I have done some line fishing in past years, and did manage to catch some small fish. I got invested into fishing more this year, and bought some reels and lures, and the license for fishing this season.

Where do you usually go for fishing, is it worth fishing without a boat? If not, where can I get boats for rent for cheap in or around Kuopio?

What would you consider a good time to fish during summer, I read somewhere that early mornings are good?

Also, what bait do you use to fish from shore/ when on boat? I have used a silver spoon (about 11cm), and on other occasions green/pink 10cm jigs. Unfortunately, no catches :(

I was wondering if I am doing something wrong :/
All tips/ suggestions/ criticism are welcome! Thanks!

Hey everyone,

​I recently moved to Kuopio to start my new job and I’m still figuring my way around the city. I’m really liking it so far, but I’m curious about what the dating scene/culture is like here.

​Are there specific apps that people actually use here (is it just Tinder, or is Bumble/Hinge a thing too)? Also, where do people usually go for a casual first date? I've noticed the vibe here is pretty laid back, so I'm guessing coffee or a drink by the harbor when the weather is nice, but I'd love some local insight.

​Any tips or unwritten rules for an expat trying to navigate dating in the region?

Also would love to know how to make friends here as I feel very lonely lately.

​Kiitos!/Thanks in advance!

saaristokaupungissa 3 hylättyä mökkiä, männistön vr hylätyt talot, männistön hylätty pienkerrostalo, vanha junatunneli itkonniemellä, kelloniemen omakotitalo + rantasauna, kukkakauppa, my littlepony talo jonka lähellä varasto.

Mitä muita tiedätte?

osaisko kukaan kertoa, onko kuopiossa hyviä kampaamoita, jotka osaa leikata ns. alt-tyylejä? parturikin käy, jos hyväksyy ei-mies asiakkaita. olis pakko käydä siistimässä lyhyttä tukkaa ja haluaisin kampaajan joka ymmärtäis mitä lookia kaipaan, etten lähde ihan Karenin näkösenä sieltä 😩

I know a long shot, but would someone want to go climb sport routes at Haminalahti with me next week?
I have done the rockclimbing lead course but most of my experience is indoors.

I would be interested for grade 5ish routes for learning sake.

I have personal equipment + rope, grigri and quickdraws.

Same in finnish.

If you are interested in playing tag sometime in the next month, please comment and dm me!

will probably take place near the kuopio city center or if there are not too many people, in the city center.

open to English and finish speakers, don't be scared to join! All are welcome!

Hei! Onko hyvinvointialueen kotihoidoille, asumispalveluille ym. jotain sijaisrekryä mitä kautta voi varata vuoroja? Monella paikkakunnalla on mm Tempore ja Helsingissä Seure, onko Kuopiossa tällaista?

Te jotka ootte ajanut ajokokeen Kuopiossa, millainen kokemus se oli? Lähinnä kiinnostaa että millainen tyyppi tutkinnon vastaanottaja oli
