Eija

Hey!

I am a southern-northern Finnish couple who moved to Ikaalisi due to Eija Puranen's job.
mother of a primary school-aged child.

Growing up on the plains, it was hard to believe that a home here could be on the shore of a lake,
You can usually find cottages by the lake there. When I was looking for a rental apartment for myself, it was a big dream,
maybe even in disbelief - if only there was a rental apartment by the lake! Now I live in one and I am very
Happy every morning when I wake up and look out the window at the view that opens before my eyes.

I know that this apartment of mine is not the only rental apartment in Ikaalisi that is located on the shore of the lake or near it.
in the immediate vicinity. You too may have the opportunity to find one for yourself. And even if you don't
If you want to find it, the city-maintained nature trails and walkways run along the lake in the downtown area,
so you can go outdoors in a wonderful environment.

My everyday life is shaped by my work at the Ikaalinen City Early Childhood Education Center, working with children's physical education, and of course...
children's and my own physical hobbies. Over the years, my children have found their own favourite
hobbies related to athletics, 4H activities, groups offered by the city's sports department, school
club activities, music school, horse farms and youth center. Fun places for children to spend time
are also the versatile yard area of ​​the Valkean Ruusu log school, playgrounds and the nearby forest that starts right from the backyard. Currently, children also go to neighboring municipalities for hobbies. Cheerleader and floorball teams can be found in 20-
It's a 30-minute drive and it doesn't feel too heavy.

I personally like to walk and run in the nearby forest and on nature trails. I have also rowed, skied and skated at Kyrösjärvi. This
Ikaalisi has the best possible environment for relaxing and feel-good exercise.

There are many active associations in Ikaaliste. I myself work for the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare in Ikaaliste.
as vice-chairman of the association. When my own children were small, the MLL family café was a great way to get to know
to others in the same situation in life. Most of the still important
friendships. I recommend that you join an association that you enjoy. Then you will be able to
quickly and easily get involved in the life of this small town and you will definitely get help with the upcoming
to your questions.
