IStori

Helsinki, Finland. The town I love and where I was born. I like travelling, especially in the Eastern parts Europe (and in Lapland: Midnight Sun Film Festivals!). I work with literature, publishing and media, but this blog is not my work diary. I am interested in politics, history, and languages. This blog is cynical at times, but funny, too. Critical, always. Pessimistic, never.
