About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Jump in the river of this world and let the current decide what next will unfurl.

ABOUT ME

I am a fun loving, adventurous and open minded person.

I am half Finnish and half Zimbabwean. I have two sisters, one older and one younger.

I was born in Finland where I lived for 2 years, after which we moved to Kazungula, Botswana.
After Botswana we moved to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. For me Victoria Falls is my hometown.
In 1998 we moved to Sodankyla in Lapland. Just our luck, the year we moved there was a record cold winter so we came from 30°C to -55°C.
2001 saw us moving to East-Germany, Bonn.
2003 we moved to Namibia and in 2005 I moved to Finland.

I am eternally grateful to my parents for dragging me around the world with them, even though it was hard at times.
I always think to myself, there's so much to experience that one lifetime is not nearly enough! To me being open minded is one of the most important things because people miss out on so much when they see things from one perspective only.

PHILOSOPHY

I view my life as the sum of all my experiences. So in order for me to one day look back with no regrets, I have to experience everything I can ever think of.
