About Me   About Me
I'm a Finnish-American guy. I was born in Finland, raised in the US and now live in Finland. I got interested in activism and humanitarian issues at Macalester College and after graduating I joined the Peace Corps. I was a teacher for two years in a rural village in Kyrgyzstan. After that I moved to Finland and after studying Finnish for a while I started my Master's in Intercultural Communication. While pursuing my degree I became an intern at the Earth Charter International Secretariat in San Jose, Costa Rica.
