About Me

I'm quite nomadic, at least right now I'm not looking for the sense of belonging anywhere. I'm also relatively ambitious about my future, and I have 1000s of plans and at least as many backup options. I wonder if I have time to see all of them through.. I'm always in a hurry to get somewhere, or out of somewhere.

Apart from my habit of constantly being on the move, I'd like to think of myself as quite a normal person. I try not to be too uncompromising what it comes to my preferences, that means I'm usually up for trying anything new or different. Within reason. (or not) I generally call things as I see them, and sometimes, my sense of humour can be pretty morbid.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycling through Finland in 10 days.

Teach, Learn, Share

When cycling, overtake pedestrians from the right-hand side, because they will intuitively yield to the left when surprised.
