ABOUT ME

I'm a cheerful girl with lots of interests. I'm social and open-minded, and I love meeting new people. I might be a little scatterbrained sometimes, but I'm all right at organizing things. I'm a humorous person, and I don't like taking things too seriously.

I'm currently majoring Finnish language in The University of Helsinki and hoping to become a Finnish (for foreigners) teacher in the future. But preferably somewhere abroad. I absolutely love languages and linguistics in general.

I've travelled in Europe and stayed for a year in Japan as an exchange student, and I just can't get enough of the world. At the same time I'm trying to brush up my English and Japanese (and Finnish!), I also start a new language every year...

PHILOSOPHY

Love and let love.
