We help brands and individuals turn their goals into reality

We are Megha Goswami and Kristaps Kovalonoks, a duo who found our way to Finland, fell in love with the country (and each other), and decided to call Finland home. Today, as passionate marketing professionals, we help brands and individuals turn their goals into reality.

As marketers with a passion for cultural exchange, we know that connecting with the right audience can be as challenging as adjusting to a new country. Through our content, we share the insights, lessons, and experiences that have shaped us, while using our expertise in strategic marketing, digital content creation, and brand storytelling to craft engaging and relatable content.

Through our social media channels, resources, consultations, and partnership opportunities, we’re here to help you.

We are passionate about supporting the voices of internationals in Finland. We believe these voices should be heard and their contributions recognized.

As individuals with a foreign background, we have been involved in countless programmes aimed at supporting others.

We continuously volunteer our time with ambassador programmes and mentoring initiatives and have served as board members and members of working groups.

Through this volunteer work, we witness the challenges that fellow internationals face in Finland, which informs our commitment to providing support through a wide array of educational and supportive video content.

While we are proud advocates of Finland, we use our platform to address both the positive aspects and the challenges, believing that open discussion is necessary for meaningful progress.

FAQs

WHO ARE COUPLE OF EXPATS?

COUPLE of EXPATS is a platform co-founded by Megha Goswami and Kristaps Kovalonoks, real-life couple and business partners who share a passion for helping others navigate life in Finland. We combine our personal expat experience with our professional expertise in marketing and content creation to offer valuable, relatable insights.

WHY DID WE START COUPLE OF EXPATS?

We started COUPLE of EXPATS because, not long ago, we were internationals who had moved to a new country without any guidance or support system. As marketing professionals, we noticed how many brands struggle to grow their social media presence and build a community. Our goal is to provide practical, engaging resources to help internationals thrive while living in or moving to Finland.

We have collaborated with several brands on influencer campaigns, provided social media management support, and brand partnerships to help them create the content their audiences need.

WHAT SERVICES AND PRODUCTS DO WE OFFER?

We offer a variety of services to support both individuals and businesses, including one-on-one consultations, brand collaborations, influencer marketing, event hosting, workshops, and social media management. We also specialise in strategic marketing solutions that help brands connect with our community in Finland.

In addition to our services, we’ve created e-books that offer in-depth guidance on adapting to life in Finland and navigating the Finnish job market – perfect for those who prefer a self-paced, practical approach.

WHAT DO WE WISH WE HAD KNOWN BEFORE STARTING OUR EXPAT JOURNEY?

Moving to a new country comes with plenty of surprises, and while we learned a lot through trial and error, there are many things we wish we’d known sooner. From navigating bureaucracy to building a network, the journey would have been smoother with the right guidance. That’s why we created COUPLE of EXPATS – to help others avoid some of the bumps along the road.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A CONSULTATION CALL?

Whether it’s about finding housing, learning more about Finnish workplace culture, navigating bureaucracy, or help navigating the job market, we are here to provide practical and reliable guidance. Our consultations are for those who need 1:1 help, and we offer thorough and relevant information that helps internationals feel prepared and supported on their journey.

WHY FINLAND?

Internationals come to Finland for a variety of reasons – education, career opportunities, or even love. We originally came here for our master’s studies in 2018, and after graduating, we found an unexpected sense of belonging. Finland has become our home, not just because of our careers but because of the community and the quality of life we’ve built here. We’re passionate about helping others experience the same sense of home, while utilising our marketing skills to help showcase the uniqueness that make Nordic living special.
