Enjoy my erasmus trip and my last month of student life

ABOUT ME

Hey,
I'm Howard. I'm a french guy and I live actually in Helsinki until the end of May. I arrived in Finland in January 2007 for doing an erasmus program (exchange student). Now I knew some finish people and several exchange students coming from all entire world. Actually I m sharing a flat with 4 people.
Now it is my last year of studies and I m conscient I have just few monthes left of freedom before to enter in the professional life. So, I am travelling as possible I can.I was in Estonia, Sweden, lituania and Russia. During this last trip in the biggest country of the world, we discovered St petersburg. What a nice and beautiful location. I want to return here as soon as possible!

About me.... euh, it is always dificult to speak about yourself. I m coming from britany (bretagne) in France. I worked in several jazz music festival and in a jazz music label. Thanks to my trip in Helsinki, My english is quiet better every day. I am openminded and ready for discuss with diferrent people and sharing emotions, feelings, experiences, idea and frienship.

PHILOSOPHY

increasing the peace and risk.
My erasmus trip gives me the opportunity to meet new people and to destroy several stereotypes I have and people have about french people.
It is always interesting to speak with someone when you have something to share
