  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are both entrepreneurs in creative fields of photography, fashion, design and advertising. We have a wide range of experience in business, motivation and power of creating. We believe in hard work and a positive mindset. Nature gives us powers, tranquility and inspiration. We love to grow our own vegetables, cook fresh meals daily, play with our 2 year old son and grandpa dog and just enjoy the simple things in life.
  We are always happy to share our knowledge, brainstorm, create new ideas and make action plans.
  
  At home we speak a mixture of English and German, and the possibility to speak Finnish and Swedish is also there.
