Description

Hi! I am writing from cold but cozy Turku in south-eastern Finland, where I am studying the last year of my master's and enjoying winter sports to their fullest.

😁ME AS A PERSON:
I am originally from Helsinki, but my family is culturally diverse so I've heard and learned multiple languages since I was little. I have also attended multilingual school which only further ignited my interest towards different cultures. So when I turned 18 it was obvious to me that I want to study international business and relations. For the same reason (well also because of the obvious wonders of this planet) and about the same time I started traveling. While exploring all the great cities and countries I kept meeting amazing people. And here I am, addicted to visiting new places and meeting new people. Probably the best kind of addiction. As I person, I tend to believe that I'm empathetic sometimes more introverted and then more extroverted on the other days. I can also talk for hours about my passions, but I promise you can tell me when to stop and I won't get offended 😉

🧙‍♂️ME AS A TIRELESS WORKER:
Because of my love towards aviation my first real-world work experience was from cleaning airplanes at nights. The work was great but also, at times, extremely hectic so I'm used to getting sweaty at work. I have also worked as a car mover and driven over 700 cars all over Finland. During my studies I've been doing gig work as an entrepreneur creating websites and executing marketing projects for small companies.

Coming year I really want to take on surfing (aka winter version of snowboarding), visit Patagonia and get a cat 🐱🤞

If you want to see me "in person" I would love to hop on a call and have a chat :)

More details about your skills

I am an organised person who likes do to things perfectly and in given time. But I am also learning to do things fast and letting some things be a little bit imperfect, of course only that can be compromised, but I've learned that being a perfectionist has its downsides :D

I am now in my final year of university studying international business and minoring in political science. I have worked as an entrepreneur and helped acquaintances develop their endeavors especially in marketing. Through the same projects I have gained quite an extensive experience in digital design, video creation and site creation.

Other than that I really like to learn and talk about languages, currently trying to improve my Swedish. There is also probably very few sports that I am not interested in. But some of my favorites are running, swimming, xc skiing and snowboarding. I can also play guitar (if you agree to sing along :)
