About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a better place by inspiring people and giving people faith

ABOUT ME

I'm very easy-going, athletic, open and I think I've never hated anyone in my life. I've grown up in a small town near Helsinki named Lovisa after a Swedish queen. I've lived in the capital region since 2003.

I like cooking food, but I'm still a beginner. I'm not very picky with food, my favorites at the moment are: Sushi and steak with a good bottle of red wine.

I've studied Computer Sciences at Helsinki University of Technology and now I have a company with my friend called PrimeWeb, www.primeweb.fi. We design, implement and market small companies products and services on the internet.

My three guiding words for this year are: listen, grow & deliver. Which ones are guiding you?

PHILOSOPHY

Never loose faith in yourself. Faith and continuous self improvement are the key ingredients to make anything happen. Change for the better is allways possible and I encourage everyone to have faith and make it happen.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was with a friend in London a few nights hosted by a couch surfing couple. We teased their cat, played rock band and ate at their favorite restaurant. This warm experience made it easy for me to decide to also participate.
