We are Aliisa and Jasmine...newly married and moving to Finland! A couple of creative, vegan, environmentally conscious, lesbians; interested in art, music, tattoos, vegan food, animals, learning about sustainability and the environment.

Aliisa (Lissu), 26 born in Hobart, Australia, kasvoin lapsena kotkansaaressa perheni kanssa ennen kuin muutin takas Australiaan. Nyt, 16v jälken, ja vaimonin kaa, ollan pakkanut kaiken tavaruuden, että voi muuttaa takas pohjanmaalle. Puhun ja ymmarrän Suomea aika hyvin, mut kirjoituskieli ei oo paras. I grew up on Kotkansaari with my mum and sister, before we moved back to Australia, now 16 years later, and with my wife, we have packed all out belongings to move back to the land of the North. I speak and understand Finnish quite well, but my written language is not the best.
I like reading, cooking, travelling, playing with dogs and eating snacks. I am learning Swedish and I know basic Chinese.

Jasmine (Jas/Jassu), 27 born in Adelaide, Australia where I grew up and spent most of my time before moving to Melbourne, where Aliisa and I met and married. Now we're on our next adventure and moving to Finland. I am excited to learn Finnish. I love art, growing my own vegetables(new climate is going to be fun), thinking creatively, documentaries, animation films and vegan food.
