ABOUT ME

I grew up in isolation from the rest of the world in a small town in Finnish Lapland. It was quiet, peaceful, surrounded by nature, and snow was on the ground for 7 or 8 months per year. I moved to a city far from home at age 16 because I wanted to see how life was somewhere else. I've been on the move since and currently live in the Finnish capital.
