Hello! I am Aleksi. I am studying in Finland bachelor of social services. I have already graduated as a youth and leisure instructor 2013. After that I worked in different areas of social work and went to finnish army.
I play guitar and some other instruments. I spend a lot of my free time with music. I also play in two bands. I do some sports, but nothing very active. But yes, I'm a sporty person.
I love to read books but I need a lot of free time to do it. During school I don't usually read, but in the vacations I do it. My favourite writer is Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

Last two years I have travelled a lot and it has become a big part of my life.

In summer 2016 I went alone to hike Camino de Santiago (775km). I met so kind and nice people during that 30 days. It was life-changing trip and I got many good friends from there. I also realized how kind strangers can be and how much you can get from the other people.

In spring 2017 I had an exchange in Enschede, NL. I started to train to marathon there and after two months of training I ran it.

After marathon I felt empty and needed something crazy to do again. So I decided to bike to Finland.

Right now back in Finland :D
