ABOUT ME

I was born in a small village in Lappland, northern Finland. I studied history in Joensuu university and later i studied to be a carpenter in Jyvaskyla. I try to think of something new everyday. I like simple things, like cooking, walking in forests and conversations. And picking berries and building all kinds of things. I also like cultures and architechture. ...And hanging out with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I think we can do something to make it better
