CURRENT MISSION

keeping it simple, keeping it real

ABOUT ME

I live in a peaceful collective with a bunch of great people in the city of Turku. I like listening to music, playing guitar, skateboarding, reading, watching films, drawing, playing basketball and hanging out with people. I work in a small independent book publishing house on and off, when I need money or feel like working. I try to maintain a positive attitude towards life, although it's not always so easy. I love animals and follow a vegan diet (no milk, no meat, no fish).
