​​1. You’re from Finland. Tell us a bit more about your country and what you like about it (and what you don’t like too).

Finland is truly such a gem. I am so grateful to have been able to grow up in this amazing country, filled with so many wonders such as the forever sunny finnish summer and the nature, which is straight out of a fairytale. Finland is a very safe country and the education system is incredible. However, as much as I love Christmas time, 70% of the year it's so cold and dark here, that it honestly makes me wonder if I can call this country my forever home.
 

2. ⁠What’s your favorite food?

Sushi 100%. Nothing beats a good sushi. Not a day goes by that I don't crave sushi. A fun fact about me is that I like to put jalapenos in my soy sauce and sometimes put them on the sushi, since I love the extra spice.
 

3. ⁠We know you’re very passionate about Cinema. If you have to make a list of 10 movies to watch, what would it be?

Ohhhh, this is soo difficult. It feels like I have to choose between my children!! As much as I love all of my dear movies my list of movies to watch would be:

1.Star Wars (and no I won't pick a favorite)
2.Lord of the Rings (all of them)
3.The Godfather
4.Die Hard
5.Alien
6.The Untouchables
7.Pride & Prejudice
8.Harry Potter (all)
9.Notting Hill
10.Saving Private Ryan

And yes I am a nerd, and yes I am proud of it.
 

4. ⁠ How old are you?

I'm 20 years old! I turned 20 this summer.
 

5. ⁠Is there a country where you dream to travel as a tourist? Why?

Australia 100%. I have never been and I honestly believe that there is something there for me. I just feel this deep calling coming from there.
 

6. ⁠Summer or Winter?

Summer. Always summer. I was born in midsummer so at heart I am forever a summer girl. My mom and my grandma even call me a summer fairy. I also have a really deep hatred for cold, I just can't stand being cold.
 

7. ⁠Please can you describe your morning routine?

Of course! Weirdly I am a really big morning person. I love waking up before the sun and enjoying my morning in peace. Usually as soon as I wakeup I do a quick meditation to set my intentions for the day. Then I change into my workout wear and head to the gym. I love working out in the mornings since I feel that it gives me so much energy and a mood booster for the rest of the day.
 

8. ⁠Almost at the end! 2 more questions. If you could meet a person alive or not from the past or present, who would it be and why?

Such as good question. I think Emma Watson would be one, since she has been a huge role model for me. Pursuing her dreams while also being an advocate for women's rights and environmental rights is just incredible. She is such a kind and positive role model for young girls everywhere! Kindness is such a virtue that I really treasure in this world.

9. ⁠Last one, tell us one of your secrets that just few people know about you.

When I was little I spent a lot of time at my grandparents house. My grandma had an ABBA dvd that included so many of their hits and the music videos. I used to perform ABBA shows for my grandma wearing her heels and with scarves wrapped around me. It is honestly the reason why I still listen to ABBA almost daily! Also another secret is that I used to be absolutely terrified of chameleons when I was little.
