ABOUT ME

I am an easy going young(ish) Finn. I like to meet new people and have conversations and share stories. For more detailed description you just have to meet me and make out the rest for yourself :D

PHILOSOPHY

80% of success is just showing up.

I don´t think I have another life stored up for me so I might as well live this one.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Northern Lights in -40c ->Freezingly beatiful!

24h of day light -> One of the best times to go to a beach and have a few (dozen) beers :)

Took a nap on a Swedish mountain in hot sun shine next to a glazier.

Scuba dived 2m away from a shark. Also seen a huge turttle.

Had a rave fest in a middle of nowhere with 30 quests and 12 professional DJs.

Hosted 24 friends at the same time (a bit crowded one might say).
