I am a Helsinki-born-and-raised 22 yo student. I'm passionate about environmental sustainability and green tech. I am a low maintenance vegan, passionate list maker and eccentric travel planner. I spent the fall semester 2017 on exchange in Singapore, which lead to my quest of finding the most authentic Asian food in the Helsinki region. I love being out in nature, exploring new places, cuddling with my family's toypoodles and making new friends. I also like to cook, preferably with a tv show on in the background to keep me company. I am also interested in getting interested in exercise, just haven’t gotten quite there yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going on exchange to Singapore. Mind you, this might not seem like such a big deal. But I am the BIGGEST baby when it comes to being away from my parents. I have literally never lived further away from my parents than 6 km, and I talk with my Mom almost every day. But I did move to Singapore, and I think that was the best decision of my life so far. I re-discovered my passion for food and travel, and I made lifelong friends from all around the world.
