Outdoor person, North & South Pole skier
Although strictly thinking this has nothing to do with my professional life, it still affects me as a person and coworker and thus is hard to leave unmentioned. I have done lots of sports in my life, and quite a lot of nice trips around the world. The ultimatum of this all was an unsupported expedition to the North Pole at 2006 with a group of seven skiers. The old site is still live, you can check www.pohjoisnapa.fi if you want to learn more. Honorable mention is South Pole expedition during season 2022-23. This trip was also unsupported and took 52 days of skiing.
