Expenses
Main source of funding:

Other sources of funding:
none
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
Because Finland is more expensive in Food and Nightlife and I used more the phone that at home.
And less, because accomodation is not so expensive as in Buenos Aires and travelling is also expensive here.
