CURRENT MISSION

Not drinking shots.

ABOUT ME

I am a 23 year old history student.

I spent the last two years in Birmingham and London studying. Life in the UK was amazing, but then I realised that nothing beats waking up in the morning when it's -20 degrees cold, and one must still wait for a couple of hours in order to see the sun rise. I also really missed seeing people trying to avoid contact with random strangers whenever possible, and rather spending their time at pubs, looking at their pints that cost 5 euros, if they're lucky. So I had to move back to Finland.

Ok just kidding, Finland is a beautiful place and Tampere is an amazing city!

So at the moment I'm studying history. Not the ideal choice for the cruel postmodern employment market, but I haven't really figured out what else to do.

But what I do know is that I love to travel and meet people from other cultures and share experiences!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have any good quotes and I rather figure things out when I have to but this one is pretty good:

Absolute certainty is a privilege of uneducated minds and fanatics. C.J Keyser

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Alice in Chains, Rage Against the Machine, Radiohead, Anathema, Swallow the Sun, Chopin. A lot of Finnish stuff. This is a cliché but I'm pretty open minded for all kind of music.

Books: Irvine Welsh, Mika Waltari, Stieg Larsson, Jens Lapidus. I haven't read that many non-academic books recently and I'm trying to get some old classics read.

Movies: Pretty much anything except some mindless teenager comedies. Some good ones that come to my mind: Inglourious Basterds, District 9, A Clockwork Orange, Pan's Labyrinth, Trainspotting

Tv shows: THE WIRE, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Family Guy, Da Ali G Show

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to Birmingham without a flat or a job was pretty tough, but I'm quite happy I managed to get things in order.

I'm still waiting for my Madventures style backpacking trip across Asia that's going to be best thing I've ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know something about everything, but not very much about anything.

Oh well, I can teach you how to make sushi.
