About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To climb everything that's climbable. Mountains, stairs to heaven, ladders to roofs..I'm avoiding career ladders though :P.

ABOUT ME

Finnish? Swedish? Irish? Multinational? Fuck nationalities! Let's go global! Passion for traveling, climbing, adventures, hiking, nature, politics, vegetarian food and wacky discussions!

Me in a nutshell:
Environmentalist
Vegetarian
Wannabe climber
Wannabe photographer(my flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/vivi_bolin)
Larper

Like talking about: Politics, pints, people, pees, peace, pandas and pppp--mountains!

Can't stand: onion. especially raw onion in sallad. Yuk!

I believe in saving the world (couch by couch) and science.

I don't believe in any religion but i find it most fascinating that some people actually do believe in gods and such.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because I can. It's so great! I'm here right now at this moment and this is my life! I'll always stay true to myself and seek higher understanding of myself and the world I'm living in. I feel for nature and I'm passionate about experiencing it and be part of conserving it instead of destroying it.

"Even if you are the fastest hamster in the hamster wheel, you are still just a hamster."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed at some of the most beautiful spots in Ireland including sunny cliffs right by the Atlantic ocean and I've hiked along some amazing trails in Lappland and gorgeous mountains in South west Ireland and Wales.

Oh, and I've also part taken in basking shark tagging by the coast of Donegal. Absolutely amazing. Baskers are huge fuckers!
Oh, and I've also assisted in some dolphin Id photography(quite randomly) and in a cetacean(whales and dolphins) stranding and ID course. Slowly turning into a marine biologist it seems :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to play a mouth harp! And i always bring it with me :D.
I have special knowledge in ecosystems and environmental politics. Or at least i like to think that i do.

At the moment my brains not functioning so I can't think of anything else.
