CURRENT MISSION

I've just moved to Vancouver, and am getting to know this beautiful city.

ABOUT ME

I am from western Canada, or the great north! I'm part Finnish, and am currently working on my Swedish and Japanese. I love swimming in cold lakes and seas, riding my bike, playing soccer and riding roller coasters. My last job I was employed at the Calgary Zoo. If you like penguins, I can answer all your penguin related questions!

Music, Movies, and Books
