BackgroundWho am I?A Finn in Sweden. That's me! As many other people in Sweden I'm a so called second generation Finn. So although I have lived almost all my life in Sweden I don't consider myself fully Swedish and also I don't think I'm Finnish either. Maybe I qualify as one of those world citicens then...? Sweden: my countryFinland: my background. ProfessionallyI'm currently a so called IT-professional. And I started my career in the thelecoms sector. Lately I have worked with IT-related stuff mostly in Sweden and in banks. But occasionally making an entry back into the telecom sector when the right opportunity arises. Current HobbiesBut you can't work all the time, can you? I personally find pleasure in excercising. For me that is: riding a bike for 5 hours. On other times I might read a book about Cognitive Science. Occasionaly I might move to a remote country, althoug not that often! It is a quite expensive hobby |
