One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2010 I visited the Carelian region of Western Russia which used to be a part of Finland for some time. I stayed with local people and enjoyed the atmosphere of silent tiny villages in the middle of nowhere. These places still have certain old-time charm because they are located in such a remote place and the nature is magnificent. I definitely want to go back there!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach surfers to bake a traditional Finnish pastry bun (pulla in Finnish). It's very delicious!

I can also teach you to make jewellery from recycled materials.
