• Something to tell the world!

  I'm Anni. I like long messages the most and in-depth conversations about fascinating topics. I prefer to chat via email so if you like, just write me a message or email me to address: (email hidden) 🐢

• I always enjoy talking about...

  There are some of my favorite topics to talk about!
  • biology and natural sciences
  • literature and art
  • culture
  • current topics and everyday life
  • whatever things that comes to mind

• Childhood pleasures

  I loved to collect Pokémon cards when I was 7-10. It was really fun to switch them with my classmates even though I hadn't no clue how to play with them. I just thought they looked cool. In addition, I really liked stones. I often crushed them by hitting them together so that they cracked and I was able to see how they sparkle inside.

• 10 years from now

  Well I have many dreams for the future. I want to live in a terraced house with a backyard for the garden and I probably have a turtle because they are amazing animals!

  🎬 Disney movies (especially The Lion King)
  ✍🏼 J.K. Rowling, John Green
  📖 Harry Potter and non-fiction books
  🖥 Friends

• I'm an expert at...

  I am good at writing. I love to write long texts like stories, letters and diaries. I've been writing more than 10 years and it is important hobby for me becauce it’s my way of expressing myself and putting together my thoughts.

• A personal challenge

  This was hard to answer all of these questions.

• My proudest accomplishments

  I graduated from upper secondary school. Actually it isn't official until the summer but all the study and final exam are behind so practically I can already party a bit 🙂

• I'm excited about...

  I get exited about new things super easily. At this moment I like geocathing, coding (I started to learn coding when I was bored and it's fun) and walking in the woods. And I'm also really excited about spring. It's my favorite season.

• Cities and countries I have visited

  I have visited several times in Sweden, Estonia, England, Germany and France. Maybe the best vacation was a trip to Spain, when we travelled there with my school class. There I swam for the first time in the ocean and it was awesome. I will also never forget Disneyland Paris and great local food especially in Paris and Italy.

• My interests in other cultures

  When it comes to foreign cultures, I'm most interested in history, myths, local traditions and the little things like inside jokes or things like that. Everything that makes the culture the way it is.

• Living abroad for one year

  I would live in Norway. It's not far but that's only a good thing. I admire the Norwegian fells and the nature views so if I could buy a small cottage and live there in the middle of the nature for a year, it would be nice. 😂 Anyway, I like hiking destinations more than city vacations when I go on a trip.

• I wish people knew more about...

  Many people says to me that I should be braver because I talk so little. But it isn't about brave, it just isn't typical of me to be chatty. I want people to understand better that quieter people may not be shy or stupid or rude, they just talk less and that is not something that should be fixed but it's a character trait.

• My opinion on human nature

  I like to think people as unfinished work of arts. Always evolving and fascinating with their imperfections, never finished but in this moment more complete than ever.

• A trick or piece of advice

  I quote a familiar prhase from the Skam series: "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind." We are only humans with our own things going on our lives. As long as we are polite and kind to each other and ourselves, that's all that matters.

• Making the world a better place

  I think there are two simple things that should be done to make the world a better place: end wars and live in balance with nature. But it's easier said than done.

• I recently learnt...

  I learned to make super delicious pancakes 🥞

• I feel concerned about...

  Well I'm worried about future because of the climate crisis. At this point it is no longer a matter of course whether we will have clean water as often and as much as we want in the future and whether we are as safe from diseases and natural disasters as we are now. So I fully believe that the situation is threatening.

• My feeling about the future

  As I said, I'm worried about the climate change and I'm sure the situation is getting worse. But I still have hopes for the future. I mean, surprising things can happen and the future also has happy things to show. I am interested in the development of space travel, for example. 🚀

• It was better before

  I miss children's cartoon movies and cartoon programs such as Winnie the Pooh and Code Lyoko. These days animation has evolved which is great but I still think that there is something magical about cartoon animation so I miss them.

• It is better now

  Tolerance among people has increased, there is an increasing focus on the environmental friendliness of products and communication is really fast due to phones and other devices.

• Improving the school system

  It's hard to say how education should be changed because the education works well at the moment, I think. Maybe the problem is that sometimes you have to make a lot of work with subjects that you don't even like and then studying is boring and you don't learn anything. If studying were more self-directed, it might help. Learning something new must feel fun and inspiring and not laborious and boring.

• My parents and me

  I'm more academically smart than my parents but they are braver and wiser. There is difference between wiseness and smartness because wiseness comes only by growing. That's why I have a lot to learn from them.

• Life regrets

  I am the embodiment of awkward situations 👑 so if I had to regret of all the bad and embarrassing things that happens in my life, I would do nothing else.

• As a child, I wish...

  I mostly grew up with my two sisters (I'm the middle one). I feeled lonely sometimes because I had only a few friends and no one who could have been invited home to play. However, I realized later that I had a great childhood and all my life I have had two friends, i.e. my sisters, and they never leave.

• A career without obstacles

  I want to work in biology. 🌱🌱 Especially genes or ecology interests me the most so I'd like to do the work related on them.

• Over or underrated

  Things that are overrated; social media, fast fashion, dogs, popular beach resorts
  Things that are underrated: go to the movies alone, insects and snakes, rainy days

• Something uncommon about me

  I'm so sensitive to tickle that it may not be very normal.
