自我介绍

I am a Finnish author, cross-cultural trainer and head of marketing, tourism and customer service of the city of Lappeenranta. I have lived in USA and Bangladesh and love to explore new places and meet interesting people. My motto is "Omnia mea mecum porto". I live by spectacular Lake Saimaa and also rent our exclusive lakeside Blueberry Villa in Taipalsaari where I like to write. Additionally I provide culturally insightful sessions into Finnish traditions, Karelian characteristics and lifestyle by the lake. Session can include chosen activities such as teatime, warming the lakeside sauna, picking berries or mushrooms or preparing a local dish together, taking a rowing trip or going for a walk in the neighborhood. The culture themes vary around the year. A simple session with a tour of the yard and house and tea and coffee moment with a readymade local dish (blueberry, strawberry, rhubarb etc.), strawberry cake, Finnish cinnamon rolls or Christmas cookies can be arranged in any season upon your arrival. If interested in these additional services, please book them in advance. Look forward to meeting you the Blueberry Villa!
