About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Personal, nice, social and positive. I give everything what I can for others. I love people and animals. I have my "own way" about how I look and my flat looks just like me. I'm a little bit bohemian and I have my own way to live my life. I get along with others. I like people and they usually like me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Now I will tell the story of Eva from Czech... She was my friend's (who lived in Tampere) girlfriend and Eva lived in Tampere also. She was an au-pair at that time. Eva and I met two times quickly when I had been there to visit my friend. So we didn't know each other that well. Because Eva didn't speak Finnish and I was too shy to speak English with anyone. Her au-pair job ended and she didn't want to go back home. She didn't have any place to live or job or even much money. So I said to my friend that Eva could move to my place in Helsinki.
One day she came. I went to pick her up at the railway station and we went to my home.
She lived in my place almost 1 year and that made me awestruck that she trusted me so much! She gave me her "life" and put it in my hands and I'm grateful to her for that everyday.
Now she has her own flat here in Helsinki and has a job and we are still close friends.

Also I'm so proud of my kids and that I could give life to those two amazing kids :)

And animals..they give something special to me everyday.
