About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visiting Cádiz in May 2024

ABOUT ME

I’m a Finnish writer with a background of traveling for many years as a digital nomad, especially in Latin America. I'm always up for a discussion about travelling, art, people, personal growth, science, relationships, cultures, languages, making the world a better place...
