About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm fulfilling my dreams one by one.

I'm currently studying in Helsinki University and developing myself for the future.

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing girl from Finland and always keen on meeting new people. I love music, summer, people, cultures, reptiles, beer, tea, laughter and life. I eat to live and live to love. I'm always up to experience new stuff and very often find myself in weird situations.

I'm currently studying statistics and cognitive science at Helsinki University, but I'm going to apply for psychology to be my main subject.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is good, world is beautiful.

Don't waste your potential, dare to dream BIG!

There is so much to see in this world that one life can't be enough. I want to see all the essentials and experience everything what makes me who I am.

Interests

When I'm not working I spend lots of time with friends. I love music and travelling. I also enjoy cooking and playing board games with friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

September 2013 I travelled to West Africa by myself. The whole trip with it's multiple smaller trips and happenings was awesome. I experienced and learned lots about life and met new interesting people. I visited my sponsored child and had one more, went to see a school building that my friends had made previous year, established my own chicken house (now the head number has increased from 3 to 60!) etc.

On December 2015 I went there again to deliver a Backpack Sponsoring project to a small village in the inner land of Gambia. We collected 400 backpacks and lot of clothes, shoes, school equipment etc. from Finland, sent them there and so I went to help the school of the village to distribute all the goods to the school children. It was such an experience! All the village was celebrating the event with me the whole day and night! The project itself really was a dream come true and I know I want to do that kind of project again in the future with even better success.

Teach, Learn, Share

Musical experiences are always much more fun when shared together! :) Let's play and sing anything or go out to see gigs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share ideas about love and life and happiness.

Or sometimes silence speaks louder than the words.
