About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Spain (and the beaches), learning languages, making more friends and making most of being in one of the best countries in the world 😎

ABOUT ME

I'm a Finn who decided to move to Barcelona via Malta, UK and USA. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing what it's been like living in different cultures and countries. I enjoy learning languages and other skills. I love good food and the wine or vermut that goes with it. I keep fit by trying to eat well during the week and going to the gym. When I meet new people, I tend to find out what we have in common and I ask lots of questions as I am quite curious about people and life.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel and get out there. Do what you love. Keep learning and keep yourself open to experiences.
