One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is amazing in general! Only a few to mention: In Maputo City Zoo I saw a cigarette smoking gorilla - that was weird. Pretty often I am astonished by my everyday work. Every time I see elderly couple walking hand-in-hand I´m touched. The pyramids might be the one too. I´m stunned when I see airplane taking off or landing, ships leaving the harbour... Do you get the picture? Visually amazing things, even the most natural ones, takes my breath away.

Teach, Learn, Share

It´s about sharing. The whole life.

If you like I can teach some phrases/signs of Finnish/ Finnish sign language.
