About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live a life of Indiana Jones

ABOUT ME

Outgoing, social, loving good jokes, loving life and travelling, good food and wine... I think life is supposed to be an adventure and my life certainly is. I love to do sports, especially extreme, to meet new people and have interesting conversations. I'm flexible and fun, I can improvise when things don't go as planned. :)

I'm freelancing as a journalist for Finnish daily papers, and always searching for interesting stories to write about. Journalism is really my passion and purpose in life. I left Finland in January 2011 and I sure when I want to return, if ever. I want to discover the world and share my experiences with others.

PHILOSOPHY

"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A birg will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself." D.H. Lawrence
