Live the life fullest for yourself, no matter what others think

I am from Finnish countryside, where I was able to spend time outside in the nature. My favorite things were swimming, sailing and climbing trees with my sister. I was usually the one who caused grey hair for my parents. I wasn’t very calm kid 😀 

Active lifestyle has always been part of me. For me it is important that I treat my body well in order to explore the World in the way I want. Doing sports also gives me energy and makes me feel good. For me, different challenges keep me mentally healthy and I am very enthusiastic about different cultures and untouched nature (which is very rare to find nowadays).

I have done my conscript service in Finland and I have been working in the Finnish military. I have always been seeking challenges through the work as well, searching action and changes. I never listen people who doubt me if do something, for example doing military service as a woman. I live my life for myself, not for others. 

After my military work, I started to do sports as a work as well. I studied Personal Training and graduated one year after. I worked in a gym and helped people for healthier lifestyle. But after years, I needed to challenge myself again and change something so I applied to Finnish National Defence University. I graduated in 2015 and started to work in the Finnish Coast Guard. I work at sea and I love it. After doing my masters studies, I’m working still at the sea because I still love it and not because of the money. 

For me, having a property or owning a big house doesn’t make me more happy. The happiest moments I have experienced, are when I have finished very physically and mentally tough challenges or I have seen very beautiful places in nature. So I bought a van moved into that. I felt more and more that my urge of moving and living is very different from others but it doesn’t mean that it is wrong. I felt peaceful and that’s why I want to keep going as long as I can.

While I’m doing adventures, if I manage to inspire especially other women to start their own adventures, that’s the point when I have succeeded in my life.
