About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to make my life more like me....

ABOUT ME

I'm 28 year old young female living in Vantaa, close to the capital city Helsinki (30 min by train). Apartment isn't so large, but there should be always room for a new friend! On the moment my life is rolling around my work, but I hope to make now some change to it and start to enjoy my life more. One way is just let it go and start to make my dreams trought.

I self think that I’m easy to come along with. I’m quite out going and I love to meet new people. Coffee with friends can always save a bad day. Usually my week is around work and on my free time you can find from the stables training my riding skils. I love also invite my frinds over for dinner or just a glass of wine. The best way to meet friends is meeting together with some food. Usually I’m the one cooking for the others, because my kitchen is my kitchen (trought is that the kitchen is so small that there room for only one person). Still cooking together is fun. I you are cooking I want to be part of it for sure. I love to learn new recepies! More important for me is to learn from you and you food culture. If your kitchen is for one person, just kick me out of the kitchen, but still let me even do the dishes afterwards.

Travelling has been my passion for long time, but studying has taken a lot of my time and money. After living and working in Netherlands I couldn’t stay on one place for long time. Every spring it comes hard to stay here instead of travelling. During my studies in Lithuania I met so incredible new peoples from different nationalities. I found how much I can learn from another person from different nationality. Also from cooking! Now I’m looking forward to meet new people via CS.

What my friends say about me? They have said many times that I’m the mother person from all. I have always everything needed with me. That’s almoast trought. I have to admit that I’m usually prepared to everything.

If you are offering me a couch I can assure you, that you will meet an unusual finn. A talkative one! But I have to say that I also love to listen other peoples stories for hours. You don’t need to take care of me all the time, but I would love to spend time with you, if you have the time. At least let me offer you coffee in café. I'm not a party animal, but I like to go out, but usually it's for me only drink or two. I love to dance. You likely find me from the dance floor intead of the bar :). Club doesn't mean for me fun. More fun is to enjoy good company with bottle of wine on the beach or park.

If you are coming here, I try to make time to show you something arround. Still I need to addmitt That I don't have that time every time someone comes in.

Love to meet all of you some point of my journey of finding the fun in my life again!

Love,
Hanne

Music, Movies, and Books

On movies everything goes down accept horror. In music everything else accept heavy metal music. Book? I read a lot, but I don't have any favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would like to say that my life is amazing this far. Both times I have lived out of Finland have been exiting for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm interested always to learn new languages and hearing stories from the history of everyones countries.

Cooking is on my passions. We have had a restaurant in our family some time ago. I chose different branch for my self for education. Still there is the strong willing to learn new recepies all the time. You will have me as helper for sure in your kitchen.
