About Me

I'm a Finnish guy located in Helsinki.
I've studied for a master's degree in wireless communications. I do that industry-related work on weekdays.
However, my other topics of interest that I do on my free time are cycling, rock climbing and scouting.
I enjoy nature. Luckily, Finland has a lot of it available.
I also have a wide knowledge of culture. I like many books, movies, games, styles of music etc.
I've counted that I have seen more than 1200 films.
My sense of humor is quite dry as Finns usually have.
