About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun-loving, open-minded and a bit rock-spirited easy-going girl from the Central of Finland living in Dublin. I've traveled a bit here and there and the more I see the world the more I want to see. Though life at the moment is good up here in North I can't wait to pack my bags again and head towards new adventures.

UPDATE: Well, I made it to Ireland. Moved here at end of September and planning to stay here for a while. Life's pretty swell here and I'm just gonna laid back and enjoy the ride.

PHILOSOPHY

I've heard there's a difference between a philosophy and a bumber sticker but never the less I have found the following sentences to describe my personal philosophy the best:

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

"You live and learn. At any rate, you live."

"You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred."

"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."
