"The World According to Jarra" Jarra's Profile

No better place than home

Hi!

My name is Jari. At the moment I live in Espoo, Finland. I have lived in many places around Finland and also in Sweden and Australia. To meet different people and to be familiar with other culteres is a wonderful thing. It is easy to learn about other cultures because I can speak English, Swedish and, of cource, Finnish.

During the Easter 2003 I travelled to Warsaw. The Warsaw pages are the first pages where I have put some effort in. Go and see the pages and send me some comments!

Since Easter 2003 I`ve been all over the world. First I went to Iceland. Iceland is absolutely magnificent country. Nature is so rough but people so warm and kind.

Around the end of last year I spent three weeks in Malaysia and Australia. That journey was wonderful. After seven long years I got a chance to see all my Australian frends and all the places where I just hang around. And, of course, I made some new friends and saw many new places.

After Australia and Malaysia I`ve been also in Austria and Cuba. Next I am heading to Berlin. There are so many places to see and feel but still it is allways wonderful to come back home again. Finland is a great country to live. Nature is clean and beautiful. You can walk in peace in the streets and there's no threat of terrorism in Finland. We don't send any troops to foreign countries. Live and let live!

What is essential

In these pages I want to give you some feeling of places where I've been. Perhaps these pages will help you to plan your trip to several place. In the focus of my pages are the cities and events. I am only in the background. Therefore you won't see any photos of me in these pages. With one exception. If you look very carefully, I am in this picture. It was taken in autumn 2003 when my favourite football team was promoted back to the Finnish Premier League.
