Hi, I'm Antti.

We live only once, and life is way too short to waste interesting opportunities. So I try to spend mine doing interesting things, getting to know interesting people and organizing cool activities.

When not traveling, I dedicate a major part of life my life for circus, acrobatics and dance. When I see some move that fascinates me and that I don't understand, I want to learn it. I can say aerial acrobatics is my passion. Partner acrobatics is an another field in which I aim to improve, and also aerial acrobatics with a partner. I also aim to improve my skills in dancing, in particular in casino (Cuban salsa), both as leader and follower. Queer salsa and queer dancing in general is great. Life is too short to live up to some outdated gender roles if they don't fit you.

In University of Helsinki I have studied psychology, Latin American studies, sociology, social and cultural anthropology, computer science, astronomy, philosophy and Russian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Swedish and English languages. In Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) I have studied Quechua language and Amazonian anthropology.

I don't eat meat except fish and shellfish, to reduce pain and suffering in the world... so I mostly eat vegetarian food.

en español:

Hola, soy Antti.

Vivemos una sola vez, y la vida es totalmente demasiada corta para perder oportunidades interesantes. Entonces intento pasar la mía haciendo cosas interesantes, conociendo a personas interesantes y organizando actividades chéveres.

Cuando no estoy viajando, dedico una gran parte de mi vida al circo, la acrobacia y el baile. Cuando veo algún movimiento que me fascina y que no entiendo, quiero aprenderlo. Puedo decir que la acrobacia aérea es mi pasión. La acrobacia con pareja es un otro campo en que intento mejorar, y también la acrobacia aérea con pareja. También intento mejorar mis habilidades en el baile, en particular en casino (salsa cubana), como llevador y como seguidor. Salsa queer y baile queer en general está chévere. La vida es demasiado corta para cumplir roles de género antiguados si no te caen bien.

En la Universidad de Helsinki estudié Psicologia, Estudios Latinoamericanos, Sociologia, Antropologia Social y Cultural, Computación/Informática, Astronomia, Filosofia y las lenguas: ruso, español, francés, portugués, alemán, sueco e inglés. En la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) yo estudié quechua y Antropologia Amazónica.

No como carne con la excepción de pescado y mariscos, para reducir el dolor y sufrimiento en el mundo... entonces la mayor parte del tiempo como comida vegetariana.

音乐、电影和书籍

My favorite movies of the ones I have seen lately:

Interstellar. I find the future of human species a very interesting topic, and Interstellar treats not only 'hard' scientific topics such as the physics of space travel, but also the personal, emotional and social consequences of space travel, in particular time dilation and its implications.

Abuela Grillo. A Bolivian-Danish short animation film that tells a very important and global story in our capitalist world, the fight for the water, in a local Bolivian context, with a lot of symbolism. The nature and the natural phenomena - such as the rain - must be appreciated and not appropriated to be sold.

Books:

Andrzej Sapkowski: The Witcher (Polish: Wiedźmin). Very exciting heroic fantasy book series with down-to-earth humor and a lot of references.

Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose (Italian: Il nome della rosa). Very interesting and captivating story about a murder mystery occurred in an Italian monastery in the year 1327.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I expect the most amazing things of my life to still lie ahead.

Anyway, I have shipwrecked on Ucayali river in the Peruvian Amazon and slept on a riverbank leveled using only some branches we could find.

en español:

Espero que las cosas más halucinantes de mi vida aún esperen en el futuro.

Sin embargo, he naufragado en el río Ucayali en la selva central del Perú y dormí en la orilla del río que nivelamos usando sólo las ramas que pudimos encontrar.
