About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find myself and be surprised.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Anna!

I love books, films, music, doing handicrafts, history and everything beautiful! I'm in sort of a crossroad in my life, as I'm about to graduate from the university and I'm supposed to grow up and get a job.

I'm a bit shy and a bit introvert, but I love to meet new people and learn new things. Sometimes I'm grumpy like the most stereotyphical Finn ever, and sometimes you can't get me to shut up.

Right now I live in Jyväskylä, a beautiful university town in Mid-Finland but I will eventually move back to Helsinki, where I've spent most of my life.

Right now I'm staying at Larnaka in Cyprus and I will be here until mid-May. After that I'm able to take quests to my flat!

PHILOSOPHY

I think way too much, but I can't imagine a life lived without thinking and analyzing things. I'm more interested in cultures and ideas than in sports, beaches or partying.
