Meet Saara!

Introduction:

Saara and I met a few years ago, while I was once again in Finland, working on my research. Saara was working on her Master's degree, in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Oulu. We worked together for a month, looking at all sorts of archaeological artifacts.

When I visited the following year, Saara invited me to stay with her for a month! Now that I have been in Finland for a full year, Saara and I get together to hang out, work on our research, and play board games.

What is your full name?:

Where do you live? What is your house like?:

I live in Oulu, and rent a second floor flat (apartment). Our flat has a living room, a kitchen and a bedroom.

What is your family like?:

I live with my boyfriend, three British Shorthair cats, and an aquarium. 

My parents live 450 kilometers (280 miles) away from Oulu, and two of my three sisters have already moved out, so I don't see them very often.

I usually like to wear comfortable clothing. In the winter, I like to wear nice pullovers (sweaters).
