Personal story
2019 was a really busy year. I was working for the City of Oulu and doing concerts all the time. My calendar was fully booked, and life was busy. All of a sudden, in 2020, everything came to a halt.
I moved back to my family home in Seinäjoki to be closer to my parents, and I started spending time in the forest every day. It was like a veil had been lifted. I came back to the memories of my childhood being in nature all the time, and a thought sprang into my mind. “Why should I not do this all the time? Because being in nature feels so good.” So here I am.
