I'm 28 years old and I live in Finland. My biggest interest are crafts and books. I'm also into writing, journaling, music, movies, travelling, cats and pretty much all animals, languages and cultures, dancing, going to the gym, theater, nature, getting to know new people and so on.

I'm not allergic to anything and I appreciate anything I get but there are some things I don't like...

• Pretty much anything out of plastic...
• Too sparkly or glittery things...
• Snakes and spiders
• People looking down on others
• The word should (because there is always a list of things you should do or a certain way you should do things and I don't like that...)
