ABOUT ME
Very calm and friendly person, many people call me slow, but I don´t think I am! :) Traveller spirit, loving the sea and sailing, like building things from wood (especially boats). Also long-time skateboarder and graffiti writer. Playing flute and like gardening as well a lot. Now I want to learn surfing and be better on skiing...
I like seeing new place whether it´s in my hometown, Finland or anywhere in the world. I love riding with my bike an being outside. Nature is great inspiration too.

PHILOSOPHY
Life is a gift so better live it like that! I am often quite worried about what´s happening in the world on these days and try to live as sustainably as possible and help somehow the people who have the worse situation than I. I like to wake up people and now I don't mean sleeping, but something more deeper. We have to be able to question our current norms and beliefs both on personal and on society levels. We have to open our eyes and really understand what is happening in this planet. Start to think with our own brain and let the spirit of love guide us. Otherwise the raping of our beautiful planet will continue until it's not anymore possible for us to live on it. Stop and think about this madness what you see everyday around you.
Change will start from inside. Ultimately, all is one.
