Life experience
There are a few things in my life I'm actually quite proud of. I've been able to find jobs that have been both challenging and interesting - or then it's just been optimistic view about life. Still, I feel like I've been in quite a lot of adventures by getting myself into places, where I couldn't be quite sure about the outcome. And still I always managed, somehow.
After graduating from high school I didn't do much anything before I decided to join the military forces. I recruited in 2004 and spend my first half a year in the air force. After I was promoted to corporal, I was transferred to the Finnish helicopter base in Utti. There I spend the latter half a year, serving in the Weather Corps producing METARs and SYNOPs.
Since the year 2001 I've been working in Turku Cathedral, sometimes more sometimes less. I'm a caretaker, making sure that the services, Masses, weddings, concerts and other events are taking place in proper time and matter and with all the goodies involved. It is an amazing building, filled with surprises in every nook and corner and packed with history. Definitely one of the most interesting places I've ever worked in.
In 2006 I witnessed a total solar eclipse in Turkey. There I got the urge to finally travel somewhere deep south to see all the Southern Hemisphere night sky's wonders. I moved to New Zealand in late 2006 and worked first for three months in a dairy farm milking cows. After that I moved to a small village called Lake Tekapo, where I got a work as an astronomy guide in the local observatory. I stayed there for two more years, before I moved back to Finland in 2009.
In the autumn 2009 I started studying Interactive Media in Tampere. I mainly focus on the creativity and visual sides of things, but that's what I've been doing a lot in my hobbies already anyway...
