Something about me

Hello stranger!

Where I am / have been

I have been born in Turku in 1971. Mostly lived my life in there. I have also lived in Lappeenranta when I was about 5-6 years old. In the summer-autumn -94 and summer -95 I was working for Nokia Mobile Phones in Oulu.

I have also spent two summers in Sweden. First language-course and some working on strawberry bed in Visingsö island -87. Second time I was working as Nordjobbare in Gothenburg in southern Sweden 1993.

Years 1996-1997 lived in Turku and then moved for three years to Oulu for work. After Oulu I sold all my stuff and packed my backpack for a trip round South- and Central-America. I spent about half an year there and got back Finland, Turku again in summer 2002.

November 2002 I went to Phuket, Thailand to work as divemaster. Excellent time, but my hunger for traveling was not satisfied. Well just see what's next :-)

.. Next step has come. I'm currently living in Singapore. Working and traveling around the APAC area. Better climate than in Finland for sure :)

If you really want to know my roots. You can look at the genealogy (sukututkimus ~ 270Kb) of my family. It's long and written in Finnish.

Studies

I have been studying Computer Science in University of Turku. There might be a possibility that I shall never finish..

Work

I'm currently working for Nokia corporation in Singapore CV

Traveling

I love traveling. Highlights are traveling by Interrail. I have done that twice. 1990 with 3 of my friends and 1996 by myself. Later on South- and-Central American trips. Now I know, the only way doing the trip by yourself. You can see and learn to know people so much better.

My last trip was to Thailand. You can find a lots of pictures and some travelstories about my trips from my Travel Page.

Diving, Pesis, Search and Rescue, Badminton.. Check my Hobbies page for further information.
