I'm living in Vienna and working happily with soil research. I'm originally from Finland but have lived around Scandinavia for 6 years before moving here. I love the outdoors and enjoy being up in the mountains. I think this is hard to explain so just meet me :)

PHILOSOPHY

Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself
