About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to finish my PhD studies

ABOUT ME

I was born in Finland and like my country; still I feel comfortable around the world, in fact I am addicted to travelling. Not only travelling per se, but also everything that comes with it.

I am a lacto-ovo-vegetarian, but usually it is not a problem (=you don't have to worry about that). I eat fish sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recommend these:

-Snorkle in Perhentian Islands, Malaysian north-east-coast (before the coralls will die from there as well...)

-experience Finnish seasons (well, actually at least summer, except for the moskitos)

-cross the Atlantic with a sail yacht (fun and terrible at the same time)

-sleep under the open sky in as many places as you can
