About Me

Short, smart, and sarcastic would probably be the first three terms my friends would use to describe me. I always try to enjoy the small things in life, which is is why i love traveling, since in a foreign culture everything seems so fascinating and amazing!
Some people may find me quite silent but that's because i often rather listen to others than talk myself. I can be really talkative as well :3

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My family has a cottage in northern Finland nearby a skiing center Ruka, which is the most beautiful place I have ever seen - especially during the winter. When white glittering snow is more than 5 feet deep and the night comes, when the stars shine brightly next to a huge yellow moon on the sky, there is nothing prettier in the whole world.

I also love the beaches of southern European countries such as Italy or Spain, where the water is so warm and clear that you could swim there all day looking for sea shells. The beach I remember the best was in Tenerife, where the sand was black because of volcanic activity.
