I am a married mother of two, a freelance cross cultural trainer and career consultant. I grew up in Finland, and moved to the US for the pursuit of love and happiness soon 13 years ago. I left a promising career at the United Nations a few years ago to launch a new career and seek a more balanced life. As a lifelong learner I am currently pursuing a masters degree in Mental Health counseling while working, blogging, writing and being a wife and mother. I write about Life, Career, Transitions and Change. Just as my occupation is a trainer, I feel as a mother I am also in training. Seeking to be in the moment while planning for the future. Doing the best I can for my family, community and myself.
