Family
I live in Espoo with my partner, son, and daughter. Currently, our weekday evenings are mostly spent on children's hobbies—dance, football, or ice hockey. My daughter also enjoys singing, while my son has gradually discovered the world of video games on the PlayStation. We also enjoy baking together, especially sweet treats. We aim to travel once or twice a year whenever possible.
