About Me

CURRENT MISSION

For the next six months staying in Italy and finding dolce far niente

ABOUT ME

I'm a crazy Finnish girl with a huge appetite for life. I always have to find new ways of thinking and doing things. I love to hear about people's lives and I'm not the one to judge. I'd like to think that I'm big hearted, open minded and courageous little person.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not an artist. I just have a great passion for the arts.
I believe in a world wide brotherhood thou' it might sound corny.

Interests

Reading and writing are my two greatest hidden passions. I am very interested about history. My favorite areas are 19th century Russia and Great Britain and the 2nd WW. I also love to photograph people and cute animals. Water is my element: I love swimming and diving.
I also love to cook! I'm the best cook I know by far...

Some weird stuff that I love love love to do: fishing, watch as-brutal-as-possible war documents, eating avocados while standing in my kitchen and buying awfully too expensive antique furniture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing moment in my life was when I was in a skiing resort in Norway. It was night time and the sky was all clear and filled with stars (you don't see much start in the center on Helsinki, you know!) and I watch the snowy mountains and smoked cigarettes. I was wrapped in a blanket and it was just so amazing and beautiful. And quiet!
