| I go by the name Mark among native English speakers and by Marko among native Finnish speakers as well as speakers of all other languages. I'm 21 years old and I've got a lot of opinions, passions and things to say. Design, technology, politics, and art and are what I love. I'm a writer, photographer, graphic designer and activist. I’m a gay atheist and I love life, thought and nature. I always have and always will question everything. I live a transparent life of autonomy and prefer to venture on my own. I say what I think and don’t wear masks for anyone. I'm a dual citizen of the USA and Finland and a native speaker of both English and Finnish. I have the heart and mind of a Finn and don’t consider myself an American beyond legal standing. I've spent every summer and many winters of my life in the Finnish countryside, and every school term in the USA. The annual changes in my living location have resulted in my education being in America, but my home is in Finland, where I feel free to explore, experience and think in a modern society, speak a language that I love and live surrounded by natural beauty. I love to travel and have flown around the world and driven over 20,000 kilometres by car. I'm currently a third year student at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA, about 50 kilometres west of Boston. After completing my undergraduate degree, I plan to leave the USA for good to begin my working life in Finland. |
