About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn!

ABOUT ME

I am an open person that likes to talk and listen. I always like to learn new things and have an ever-lasting hunger for knowledge about life and the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem. In vino veritas. You are never too old for anything.

Interests

Spectator sports (football and ice hockey). A big fan of Liverpool FC and Tappara (Tampere).

Learning languages, never enough knowledge about them.

Meeting new, interesting people - that is one of the best things in life.

Travelling, seeing the world.

Enjoying good food and drink.

Learning about everything that happens to interest me at the time.

  • dining
  • cooking
  • wine
  • beer
  • drinking
  • traveling
  • sports
  • soccer
  • hockey
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Jared Diamond books. Any well-written literature that educates me in whatever should interest me at the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have eaten a fig out of a tree. That was, for a Finn, extraordinary. And of course I am lucky that I have seen a lot of the world. That is something I value since I have grown as a person because of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to teach anything about my passions: good beer, wine and food/cooking.
