About Me

I'm a student living in Helsinki, I live to travel, eat good food and enjoy life - it's all about enjoying the small, random, lovely things in life, wouldn't you agree? Meeting new people and comparing life stories and cultural differences teaches you about the world but also teaches you about yourself - I really enjoy a good chat over a coffee or a glass of wine.

I'm currently writing my thesis in English Language and Literature, and when I'm not writing I work as a photographer and graphic designer. I enjoy taking portraits and street photography, and I have my old analogue camera with me a lot. I enjoy music - both listening to it or playing the piano, and art of all kinds. Cityscape or landscape, I enjoy walking around and seeing new environments and broadening horizons, to express myself cheesily.

I'm currently living in Madrid, doing a really cool-ass internship at the Finnish cultural institute :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I consume everything from classical music to hip hop, my favorite director is Hayao Miyazaki and I have to say that the Harry Potter books have had the largest impact on me of all my reading experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked in the Swiss Alps around the Lake Oeschinensee!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to do this really cool sound by whistling (it sounds like a drop of water falling into a well or something - it's hard to explain I have to show you!)

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Finland, Spain, United States
