Who am I?

I'm an avid traveller from Finland who likes to organize his own trips and avoid big tourist agencies. I got my first travelling experiences already when I was a small boy. My mother took me with her to all these wonderful places, Estonia, Tunisia, Greece, Portugal and Jamaica, just to mention a few.

When I grew older, I started travelling without my parents. The first big trip for me was when we Interrailed around Europe for almost a month with a good friend of mine. After that I've gone abroad for at least a month every year, and I guess I'm not stopping anytime soon. My mother has been to over 60 countries already so I've got some catching up to do!

During the last few years I've developed a passion for mountains, and you can check the list of peaks I've conquered so far under the "Peak list"-link. The list isn't long yet, but it'll be growing. That's a promise! In addition to travelling I enjoy many kinds of sports. I like to ski, run, swim, climb, play badminton, hike...

I don't like to travel alone that much and the perfect solution to that problem is my wonderful wife, Inna. She's the best company I could ask for when we are travelling, and we've already had some wild experiences around the world. She isn't as eager to try everything extreme as I am, but she usually follows me very bravely! She's also a lot better with people than I am so we make a good combination :).
