About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel all around the US, meet new people, and gain amazing experiences!

ABOUT ME

I went to school for 13 years in Helsinki. During that time I started skateboarding, snowboarding, enjoying beer, practicing martial arts, and even freestyling for fun. After high school I did one full year of military training in Finland, after which i ended up in Chicago to study for a bachelors degree. I still enjoy beer, martial arts, and freestyling. I like to spend my weekends going out with friends to events ranging from comedy shows, music concerts, playing pool, to parties!

PHILOSOPHY

I think life is about experiencing as many things as possible. Traveling and trying out new things is one of the best ways to learn about the world we live in. Life is what you make it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been privileged to have traveled and seen my places. I spent a year in mandatory military service in Finland. It was an interesting experience, because I am sure that I wont come across anything similar in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share
