I'm Keiju (it means a fairy in Finnish. Actually my full name is Keiju Helinä = it's Tinkerbell- fairy from Peter Pan) a 30 years old girl from Finland, the land of sauna, Santa Claus and Moomin characters. :)

I live in our capital Helsinki with my husband and our three lovely dogs and six pet rats. I live in small apartment and I can see the sea everyday!

I'm a huge fan of snail mail (and mail creativity) and I have pen pals from Finland and some other countries. Of course I love postcrossing too! I love cooking (specially Asian and Italian cuisine) and I was a competitor in Finnish MasterChef 2011.I love also travel around (specially Scotland), reading (almost everything, thrillers, drama, biography, fantasy - you can call my a bibliophile) and animals.
