I'm a married, pale and awkward one-dog pack leader from Finland in his thirties. I'm still not going to bite you. You're more than welcome to drop a line even if it's no more than hi or hello. But please, don't expect it to lead to friendship. What I really want is to learn about languages, cultures, people and thoughts.

As for languages, English is always ok but...

1. Jag​ kan kommunicera någorlunda flytande på svenska.
   
2. Puhun​ jopa suomea.
   
3. Ich​ habe viel Deutsch vergessen aber will gerne wieder trainieren.
   
4. No hablo español muy bien y necesito practicar mucho.
   

Male or female, it doesn't matter but preferably your high school years are behind you.

Human​ mind:​ It never ceases to fascinate. This topic includes everything from neuroscience​s to religional rites and from psychology to meditation. This is where spirituality​ and science shake hands. What do you believe in?

Philosophy:​ I'm neither Plato nor Hegel but I enjoy reading the texts of the masters. In addition to the western philosophy, I'm also into its eastern counterpart.​ I use it all as substance for fine-tuning my worldview rather than for trying to build own philosophica​l systems. Are you interested in semi-advance​d dicussions?

Technology:​ I work with IT so it's a part of my everyday life. However, I'm more interested in it as a phenomenon and try to avoid the newest Nokia IAYS71263s and Sony 38E73XAs. Do you think similarly?

Sports:​ I used to be quite a sports enthusiast. It has calmed  a bit but I still follow mainly (ice) hockey and soccer. As for my own physical activities I like biking and regularly hit the gym, too. The Vancouver (I've been there, by the way) Olymipics are coming butt will Crosby lead Team Canada to gold medals?

Traveling:​ The last trip was volunteering​ in Romania, which will probably be followed by relaxing in Sweden. Where and why should I go then? Tell me how to make it all ecologically​ acceptable all the way from Finland.

Smiling:​ :)

Currently​ learning (in early stages):​ hand standing, drawing, playing panflute. These are not quite so simple tasks since I totally lack all artistic abilities.

Just to make sure you read the profile before sending a message, type (or copy and paste) the following magic word somewhere in the message: "hölökynkölökyn"​. Thank you. :)

Depends on the mood but mostly classical, rock, jazz and Finnish reggae.

Preferably nothing non-Hollywoo​d.

The Simpsons

The Trial by Kafka, The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky, Siddhartha by Hesse...
