Description
Hey all!
I'm a 30-year old artist and writer from Finland with a lifetime of experience in travelling and experiencing other cultures. My main passions are art and writing, and I have a Bachelor's degree in film-making from the University of Canberra - with my experience of photography and videography, I can help you with creative projects and marketing materials!
My natural default mode is doing creative things, but I've grown up doing a fair amount of physical work in a very practical family partially living on the countryside, so I don't shy away from the grittier, physical stuff either. I have a high work ethic and classic Nordic integrity, so whatever task you give me, I'll strive to do it in the best way possible with maximum efficiency. I also have extensive experience of hospitality, having worked in several cafes, a kitchen and a restaurant with a bar.
Even if there is work that's not my natural cup of tea, I'll do my best to learn and adapt to deliver great results. Outside of work, I'm always up for deep discussions and ponderings on the state of the world, as well as some straight-forward fun, adventure and exploring nature. I love learning about new places and cultures, including local cuisines.
"Man cannot discover new oceans without the courage to lose sight of the shore".

More details about your skills
Artistic- A wide variety ranging from graphic design to photography and painting murals, for example. If it involves Photoshop or art supplies, I'm down.
Writing- Both fiction and non-fiction. For example, I could help with editing your website description to perfection or writing blog-style entries. Those grammar/spelling errors better start running.
Organizational- Throwing together events for 40-100 people, coordinating and scheduling work, leading people in accomplishing an objective when necessary.
Musical- I play violin and guitar, have played drums in the past.
Practical- Basic work around the house, daily physical tasks and projects. Good at cleaning and organising messy spaces, experienced in weeding my mom's garden and farm projects.
Other- I'm very hard-working and adaptable, striving for great results and efficiency in what I do. I'll try to optimize things for the benefit of everyone, and do my best even at jobs that might not be my natural cup of tea. Willing to learn.
People- I'm open and friendly towards people, and value clear communication. I'm not the world's greatest extrovert, but I do enjoy making connections with others and appreciate the time shared with people, especially when it's meaningful on more than a surface-level. As long as I occasionally get to recharge with some alone time, I'll be down to party.

What else ...
In my lifetime I've really grown to appreciate the way you can learn something from everyone, even people with completely different personalities or interests. This is why I always try to stay open minded, for you never know where chance encounters with a random stranger may lead, or how much people you never expected to share anything with end up affecting your life.

Special dietary requirements
Mainly gluten-free. I am able to eat gluten in small amounts, but would appreciate having alternatives as it causes problems in greater quantities. I'm willing to provide some of my own food!
