California man buys a small island in Finland because it's cheaper than the deposit on a house.

Oliver Russell grew up in Laguna Beach , California but after moving Colorado , he was denied in-state tuition which made affording business school nearly impossible.

Russell and Helena Tomaszewska , 20 , purchased the island in March 2024 and have made several trips to ready the land for a permanent structure.
