About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people, sharing ideas. To talk, learn and help others learn. Enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

I have a family, 2 children, I live in a smallish house 20 kilometres outside Lahti.

I want to meet people when I go abroad, not just walk between beach and hotel. I understand that others have same kind of wishes.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others like you want to be treated.
