Hey and welcome to my profile. Just as a quick summary of myself, I'm a person who's lived in Finland for much of my life but also in Poland, Israel and US. And travel quite a bit for my work. Most recently been living in Berlin, Germany since 2013.

I'm also very interested in technology and business. :)

I'm working in the field of marketing (advertising and business development)

Just looking for interesting people from different (or similar) cultures, backgrounds and experiences to talk with. :)

My hobbies are doing sports (kickboxing, dancing, weightlifting and cycling) as well reading books and watching movies, either documentaries or science fiction / fantasy especially.
Also a big fan of computer games, both new and old ones though having more time to be able to play them would be nice. (Currently playing Mass Effect for the first time)

Also recently been trying to start getting back into photography :)

Almost everything goes from classical to metal, though EDM especially is something I enjoy (and to dance with)

"Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!" - Red Queen, in Lewis Carroll's Through The Looking Glass

"It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery. But is it not stirring to understand how the world actually works--that white light is made of colors, that color is the way we perceive the wavelengths of light, that transparent air reflects light, that in so doing it discriminates among the waves, and that the sky is blue for the same reason that the sunset is red? It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it." - Carl Sagan in Pale Blue Dot

I ask not for a lighter burden, but broader shoulders. - Jewish Proverb

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Ozymandias", 1819 edition
