About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away

ABOUT ME

I am a Finn currently living in Helsinki. I have lived abroad for more than 10 years and also traveled around the world in 2012-2013. I love meeting new people from different cultures because every person you meet brings something more into your life. I enjoy discussing life, the universe and everything - although I know the answer already: 42, but there is always so much more into it. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

World is a book and the one who never travels reads only one page.

I enjoy reading a lot now when I have time. Last book I read was "The Hunger Games".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with dolphins on Bahamas, trekking at Himalaya, jungle flight in Chiang Mai, motorbike ride to Pai, diving on Great Barrier Reef, driving along Great Ocean Road, paragliding at Lake Wanaka in New Zealand, staying on an almost deserted island in Tonga, island hopping in Fiji, limousine ride in Las Vegas, visiting Grand Canyon, the visit to Cuba... and many more!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Finnish - one of the most useful languages in the world. I can also teach you how to make a nice video for your friends e.g. for their birthday. I would love to learn to play ukulele.
