I move around Finland’s nature mainly on foot, taking long and short day trips. I enjoy a lot the silence, being on my own like a typical introvert! After spending about eight years of my life in Finnish Lapland, I returned to my home town Salo on the south-west coast of Finland in the summer of 2022.

In the summer, I go under the surface as often as possible to watch and photograph fish in Finland’s beautiful nature. My destinations are often chosen according to where I can snorkel in the best clear waters.

I love the dark and starry skies as much as the summer light – on winter evenings I watch the Milky Way while listening to Nightwish and immerse myself in space instead of snow.
