About Me

Moved to Germany/Cologne 2023 from Finland, enjoying time with friends, new surroundings, building routines and meeting new faces

I have spend plenty of time traveling, lived multiple occasions in a tent while exploring the world, which has given me such crazy adventurous, experiences and memories that have had massive impact on myself.

Bit about me:
I come from Rovaniemi, place know as Santa Claus hometown at arctic circle 🎅
(Yes we're good friends with Santa)

I have worked many years in tourism, in sales and management but more interestingly as nature guide, taking people to search northen lights, hiking, skiing, doing snowmobile tours, ice fishing, husky sledding.

I focus living the moment, letting things go on their own path, go outside of the comfort zone and foolish ideas can be the best ones.

As Yvon Chouinard stated:
"When everything goes wrong, that's when the adventure begins."

Always up for some Tarantino's movies
