About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, Meet people and enjoy life

ABOUT ME

Very social and a great people person. Love photography, skiing, japan, music, clubbing and all sorts of fun stuff.
Big into sports and very active. I'm a certified Fitness instructor in Sweden at Friskis&Svettis and have worked for several years with this and do still when I visit Sweden. Worked as various things, among others bartender, paintball instructor, software developer and university tutor
I love finding fascinating things to take pictures off, wandering for hours to find untouched powder fields and try and stretch the limits.

please visit http://picasaweb.google.com/elomiem to see my photos that I upload ( more recently facebook)!!

Traveling the world is something everyone should do, to experience other cultures and meet new people is one of the greatest things one can do..(#2 after skiing a perfect powder field or scuba dive in fiji on my list ;) )
Either by yourself or with others, esp others you meet on the way is something that will always come in handy later in life, either as experience towards work or just as a good story at the bar.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will solve itself.
(ie: don't worry to much about things, a solution will sooner or later come..enjoy it and no stress )

Interests

Most sports and photography. Outdoor life and anything thats fun really.
I find it hard to put down all the interests and such .. id rather say im probably up for ANYTHING that's good fun really..plus I'm good at comming up with crazy fun ideas..that might not always be risk free :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, there are quite a lot of stories I could tell here.. but one very amazing thing recently was the sunset on the flight from tokyo last juli back to auckland.. sitting and watching for hours as the sun slowly rose on the horizon was magical.. took some pictures on my picasa blog, but they dont do it justice.

Had 3 days in a row skiing in Hakuba in the deepest snow ever..absolutely best experience in life so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

Live to learn, Learn to live..
Learning doesnt stop till you drop and is the most valuable tool there is..therefore advice from me:
Don't stress..it will NEVER solve problems! Only cause more.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, China, Fiji, Japan, New Zealand, Thailand, United States
