CURRENT MISSION

To learn to speak Dutch better!

ABOUT ME

I am a young woman from Finland. Now I am living in Vantaa, a city very near Helsinki, and I have a big apartment just for myself and for my guests. I love travelling and I have also lived one year as an exchange student in the Netherlands.

In my free time I read books, write stories, make art, swim, dance, walk in nature and sing or play the guitar or the violin.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
- John Lennon (1940 - 1980), "Beautiful Boy"
