I'm a 27-year-old queer person who:
loves to dance,
dreams of a better world for all kinds of creatures to live and also does something for that,
makes incredible notes inside their head of life happening around,
cooks most of their (vegan) food herself,
wants to experience a lot in life but enjoys safety too,
is sometimes hyper-active and sometimes very calm,
has strong opinions (not fixated!) and temperament,
doesn't smoke, drinks sometimes a bit,
is almost never ashamed but doesn't think they is more special or better than anybody else

(Yeap, my pronoun is _ they_, what's yours?)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the greatest thing I've done in my lifetime is that I have set up a group for queer young people in Kajaani (a little town where I grew up). It still means a lot to me and of course for many other people. I'm absolutely proud of all that.

I'm also happy about that I'm finally standing on my own two feet after years of depression and many negative processes in my life. I'm glad I've survived this far and really appreciate the gift of life by enjoying the least things that exist.

I've slept one night alone in a wooden hootchie in the middle of a bad storm. I survived & stayed dry + enjoyed the amazing views! (That's not the only time I've been alone somewhere in the nature, far away from other people...)

Teach, Learn, Share

# I think I'm pretty good at cooking vegan food, if I just have enough time to cook (not every day).
# I can also knit mittens, scarfs and socks (doing it mostly in winter time).
# If you want, I can help you with the (difficult) Finnish language. At least I can teach you some useful/funny/bad words :P

* I would like to learn some traditional food receipe from your culture!
* Skateboarding and parkouring in the summertime would be awesome!
* If you know any Hausa, I would love to chat with you!
