About Me
ABOUT ME
Hello happy travelers!
I'm a 32 years old entrepreneur and avid language learner from Finland. I like travelling, meeting new people and getting to know new cultures. I'm especially interested in healthy lifestyle and nutrition. Understanding how world works is my will to live. I've see world full of opportunities and like learning new things from people I meet, and it makes me glad if I can teach something useful to other people.
I’m currently studying Mandarin Chinese as my hobby. I know quite a bit of efficient methods in language learning and I'd be happy to share these.
My educational background is in Computer Science and in engineering. I haven't coded in couple of years, though, and I'm more business & entrepreneur minded. I've also studied plenty of other topics, e.g. industrial engineering, human psychology, nutrition.
I would be pleased to host you or show you around Helsinki :)
