Roommate Hour

What language(s) do you speak? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

I speak Finnish and English fluently. I should speak Sweedish fluently, but I don't, I only speak it a little. Hello in Finnish is Hei or Moro (in Tampere slang).

Do you have pets?:

Sadly, no, but I would love to have dogs.

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

Yes, I have traveled to Greece and its many islands multiple times, Italy (and Vatican City) a few times, as well as Spain and the Canary Islands. I have been to Cyprus a couple of times, as well as Turkey, France and Portugal. I have also been to Estonia and Sweden several times due to their convenient location. I've visited Norway, Thailand, Vietnam, Croatia and Bulgaria. In addition, I spent a 6-month exchange period in the United Kingdom.

What do you do for work?:

I work in marketing and sales.

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

I know the school system in the U.S. differs greatly from Finland, and I hope that someday education is seen as a right instead of a luxury in the U.S. With my whole heart, I wish you all the strength and motivation to work towards your goals and dreams without sacrificing your happiness.
