My Interests

life. music, nature and dreaming – preferably a combination of all three. smiling people. staring at the sunshine in rainy forests. feeling the moss beneath my bare feet. clouds. respect of all living things. spring and summer. sunshine after rain. bicycling all day during the summers while listening to Belle and Sebastian. lighthouses. sailing with out a sound, only hearing the sound of wind and waves caused by nature. trees and tree tops. falling asleep around the shores of southern helsinki. storms. Sigur Rós. the sea and the ocean. old typewriter fonts. “floating” soundlessly and effortlessly on a bicycle through the sleeping city during summer nights- and early mornings. dreaming about waking up to us. apple trees and maple leaves.
