About me:

Finnish futurist and researcher living in Tirana and Dubai. Loving the diversity of living in two places. I love to travel, read, meet new people, visit new places and learn new languages and experience different cultures.

I have lived on and off now for 6 years in Tirana. I teach economics at one of the universities here and do a good Bit of consulting work for International clients. Used to live in Moscow, Philadelphia and Berlin as well as my native Finland.
