Born and raised in Finland, studied in Estonia and London, now trying to settle for a bit in Helsinki

Enthusiastic idealist, curiosity as a way of living! A professor-to-be (one must set high goals, right): my current academic interests include bilingualism, multilingualism & language policy in education. I'm not a great cook, but I can make better pancakes than your grandma!

I'm interested in minimalist and sustainable lifestyle, but still in the beginning of that journey.

We are hosting together with my boyfriend who checks his CS inbox more frequently - see Jeroen B in Helsinki :)
