About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Waiting for mission

ABOUT ME

My personality is open and caring. I like to absorb information, anything at all is fine for me if it is interesting. I have a poker playing background, I have played it professionally for 4-5 years and it has affected me as a person. I think like a poker player (logically, objective) but at the same time I have a humane side that allows me to enjoy life for more than just logical and objective things.

I like to do my own things in life. If something feels right and I like it, I like to do it and keep doing it. I don't really care what other people think in a way that it would affect my life so that I would have to keep myself from doing things I like. I respect other peoples opinions when they are honest and their own.

I like to read a lot these days. I read a lot of philosophy and psychology books these days. Those are the things I'm really hooked up to at the moment. Psychology actually has been my main interest for a long time, but philosophy is kind of a new thing I started exploring and find it really interesting. I also like to read books that have a story but I haven't done that too much lately, new winds are blowing so I'm just going with it. I also feel like that I need to read a lot of "useful" information atm and educate myself, so probably it's just fine.

I'm a healthy and holistic person. I eat my vitamins and try to live a healthy life. I do yoga and meditation many times a week to keep my mind&body at balance. I have also started doing some ice hole swimming lately, with sauna, here in Finland, and I've gotten really addicted to it.

I love travelling. I have not really been travelling alone, ever. There has always been some friend with me when I've went somewhere. I have had a "dream" for some time, that I want to go travelling alone to some countries and see how it goes. I haven't really done that yet, but this year I have a plan to follow up with my dream and see how it goes.

I like to try new things. I feel like the younger I master new things the better it is for my life. I also feel like that doing new things helps to keep myself fresh. New experiences might even bring something permanent to my life so doing them is always nice :).

Things that I also like include writing, sunbathing, diving, mountain climbing, drinking tea!,great music, good movies, great series, dancing, people :), school, education, information, information, information.. !

Music is so important part of my life that I'm going to write something about it. I really like to explore new music. At all times i'm almost always listening to something new. Music that I really do like include post-rock, progressive rock, folk music, triphop, psybient... the taste is extensive, but Pink Floyd is my first love in music and still it is my favourite band. I don't listen to progressive rock too much these days, I mostly do listen to post-rock and some psychedelic music on festivals and parties, but if it is good progressive rock that is what I really love.

PHILOSOPHY

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing right.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Uruguay with a friend at the age of 18. Our mothers told us not to see any stangers. Met a local Uruguyan citizen at San Paolo airport, changed contact information, and had a great week with him and his friend.

Went alone to do a trip in Iceland. It was terrific! =)
