Soy casi fluido en castellano también :)

CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently on my second trip in South America until March 2024, having started in Ecuador where I was doing my social services internship until the end of November. I graduated at the end of 2023 and my plan after returning to Finland is to start working with young adults at risk of being socially excluded.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young-ish man from Finland. My roots are in Lapland, but I've lived almost half of my life in Helsinki.

My core values are soft and universalist. I like traveling mainly for two reasons: Learning from other cultures and experiencing nature's wonders around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live, as long as one doesn't hurt the people or environment around you, within the realities of this hypercapitalist society. Life is a exciting opportunity to learn tranquility & contentedness and create meaningful connections even with the challenges this planet and we as a global society are facing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide range of music, the most important part for me is that the music has soul and usually some sort of progression.

In the past few years I've mostly read feminist sci-fi and fantasy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited the salt desert in Uyuni, Bolivia and experienced the mirror effect when water over the salt flats reflects the sky perfectly.
