Description

28 y finnish army knife here, terve!

I was born and raised in small Finnish town, while my family welcomed any travellers and diverse bunch of friends to our family farm.

Currently I'm working in a reality tv -industry as a PA and a production coordinator. My job has brought me to Spain twice. Inventing and building props, doing timetables and covering up last minute changes brings the dope.

I am committed to evolve and appreciate my environment such a way, that I can share my full presence.

For exchange, I will offer my gratitude, time and my already existing working skills. If needed, I learn kinda quickly as well, when it comes to practical work.

Some information about my humanoid shell:

I am curious about life in all and interested to understand how it works. This sentence obviously contains several layers, but basically it means that I end up trying a lot of different things and studying biology and social politics at home.

I do hitchhiking.

I have an education as well! Back in the days I graduated as a pastry chef.

Past-past I've been working in a bar, restaurant and a hotel. Made my part in pub renovation too during covid lockdowns.

Eventhough selling beer is one kind of real-life comedy scene, I'd like to add a bit more of different kind of storytelling in my life.

Besides of my fun loving and people inspired soul I...

.. Quit my steady job at 5/2015 for an idea to leave to Ireland and have some adventures

.. Prefer more dancing than walking

.. Love to travel and discover everything new and beautiful - and while I can't execute it in a concrete way, I read books

.. Have my own connection to nature and its sensitive beauty - fresh air and real landscapes makes my head light and calm. Especially if I can enjoy them from a hammock.

.. Have some special attachment to all kinds of birds

More details about your skills

Past three years I've been giving my input to hectic TV -industry in terms of a reality tv -shows. It has taught me more than any school so far. Coordinating and educating staff, creating solutions for any situation possible, build small budget elements to look (and last) like it's more sturdy. Reality-tv combines human research and practical work into one, but for now I know it's time for me to take a break.


I have a basic education from food manufacturing field - being specific, I am a pastry chef and a baker. So I can bake - actually very well. (At least Finnish way pastries, but I would not mind to learn local ones!)

I've worked in a customer service for several years, so that suits for me as well. I've been working at i.a. art foundation, bar, and in a cafeteria-restaurant. Sometimes in two places at the same time.

I grew up in a farm, so housework or two isn't a problem either.

If needed, I'm able to write texts and have decent pictures - blogging and commemorate your/our auctions is something I would probably enjoy!

If someone wants to develop oneself knowledge in Finnish, I can help with that.

I would love to help you to renovate furniture, paint walls, do the shopping and cook the dinner, clean everything up and entertain you with my drawings.

I'd love to learn how to use a chainsaw and I'd be interested any crafty, even dirty job.

I am most interested of creative and practical work, while sharing the experience of cultural exchange.

Hope to meet you soon! :-)
