About Me

I'm 28 years old, I used to live in Jyväskylä but now I'm currently living in Hyvinkää, in Southern Finland. I'm working as a scrub nurse.

Photography is my passion - I've been doing it for twelve years. I like to take photos of everything: animals, people, nature, architecture. I couldn't travel anywhere without my camera.

I'm not a big party person, I prefer staying home and watching tv or listening to music. Sounds lame, I know! I might need to add that I like partying with awesome company!

I'm definitely a roadtrip-person! I've been doing roatrips to Baltic countries, Poland, Central Europe and Ireland. I've fallen in love especially with Baltic countries, Ireland and The Alps.

Interests

I'm definitely a person who dreams about a different life but is still somehow afraid to change the course. I'm trying to find that courage by being a member of this site for example!

In my freetime, I like to watch good TV-shows, listen to good music or watch movies. I'm a bit artistic person, I like to do all sorts of handicrafts and I used to like drawing too but nowadays I'm using the lack of time as an excuse.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC : Almost everything goes. I mostly listen to my Spotify playlists including all sorts of songs from EDM to classical music. If I had to name one favorite band, it would be Muse.

MOVIES : One flew over the cockoo's nest, Nolan movies, Lord of the Rings, all historical movies, war movies, romantic dramas etc. I'm not a fan of horror films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting some abandoned places in Latvia.
Road trips to Baltic countries, Poland, Ireland, Northern Ireland and central Europe.
Photographing a large horse herd in Estonia.
Traveling alone.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ok, now I'm not trying to brag about my skills but I'm actually good at many things! I could teach you for example Finnish (yeah, like it happens in one night...!), knitting, crocheting, cooking Finnish food or pastry... And I definitely can teach you about Finnish culture, anything you want to know.

I'd like to learn to cook food or pastry from different cultures or maybe know some words of your language. And I'm more than happy to learn about other cultures and other people. It's always so interesting to get to know new people! :)
