About me
I’m a communications professional, a marketing enthusiast, a translator and a dreamer. I came to Tampere for the first time as an exchange student while studying foreign journalism and learning the Finnish language at Moscow State University. Here, I fell in love with the Finnish lifestyle, the proximity of nature and the way it is present in the daily life of the locals. I’ve been permanently living in Tampere since 2013 and this city has always felt like home. Yet, it never stops surprising me. I’m lucky to have my job tightly connected with Tampere, so getting to know the city better is both work and my passion. In my free time, I read, dance salsa and travel.

Why Tampere
This city is a lifestyle: it has everything you need from a big city in the compact size of a town. I enjoy the laid-back spirit here, the cultural life of the capital scale and the tranquility of nature that is always just nearby. You can enjoy stunning lakes here all year round and a unique culture of public saunas – since this is the official Sauna Capital of Finland, there is a lot to try even for the most experienced sauna enthusiasts.
