First of all, congratulations for this beautiful attitude!
Whoever thought about it should receive a Nobel Prize!
I would love to participate on the next event, specially if it’s in Helsinki, where people hardly look at each other on the street.
I’ve been living here for over 6 months, originally from Brazil, however I’m coming from London. Love this place, how things work and everything.
Please contact me, I would really enjoy making new friends as well. My email: rhaoni@hotmail.co.uk

Hi!
I found one video clip from Youtube accidently.
Then I traced to this website.
I am from a “shy” nation — China. We seldom hug our family members or friends. But we all know that how important to express and get love from the one you care and to the one you think may need help.
I am living in Helsinki as a student now. It would be nice to join in your activites.
Cheers!

Hi! I also found a Free Hugs video clip from Youtube accidently and then through freehugscampaign.org came to this site. It would be great to have a Free Hugs day in Tampere also!!! The video clip really got me into tears, it’s great to see that in spite of all the cruelty in this world there’s still this kind of warmthnes between people, even people who doesn’t know each other:)

Hiya!
As many others, I too, found out about this amazing idea via YouTube. My first reaction was: “I want to be a part of it too!”, so if you’d let me know the next date, I’ll try to see if I can make it to Helsinki then! :]

We need new dates. I think it would be cool to have a hugging day during Halloween.
