About Me

CURRENT MISSION

visit allianz arena ! then i've visited the home stadiums of all of my three favourite football clubs.

ABOUT ME

I'm 19 years old and live in Finnish Lapland in a small town called Rovaniemi. I finished IB high school in 2012 and until I achieve my goal of becoming an intelligent lawyer I'll be doing all kind of stuff such as travelling and studying German. I talk a lot and I have quite a loud laughter, yet I love listening to other people and learning what they've experienced. The love of my life is German football but I love many other things too, such as travelling, piano music, balloons, disney movies, shopping in England, dancing and being anonymous in a city I've never visited before. I'm afraid of becoming old, tired and boring and wish to experience as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

"Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win."
— Gary Lineker, England

"This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again"
— Regina Spektor: On The Radio
