Freelancer searching for a desk space and friends

[Darinka]

Hello! Here is my story:

I will be moving to Helsinki on the second week of October to visit my boyfriend. I am a freelance web designer and I love my job. The only problem that I am a bit afraid of while living in Helsinki, is that I might become a bit lonely. Therefore I am searching for new connections, friends, fellow freelancers. Anyone in Helsinki that could go for lunch with me or point me to places (cafes, libraries with wi-fi) where I could work on my laptop.

I hate being home alone, so I would love to find a community of freelancers or web designers or people that are also new in Helsinki.

I also am searching for a desk rent space. In some larger cities, freelancers get together and rent an office, so that they are in an nice working environment together and they have meeting rooms etc. Is there such a thing in Helsinki too?

Thank you for all your kind answers!

I'm a freelance web/software developer and wouldn't mind sharing office space if you could find enough people who are interested. If you are interested in networking/making new friends, there is this meetup for tech-oriented people: http://entrepreneur.meetup.com/1320/
