This Finnish book lover reads the Guardian in order to keep in touch with the UK after coming here on the Erasmus programmeI’m originally from Helsinki, Finland. I majored in English philology at the University of Helsinki, and began an ongoing relationship not only with my British boyfriend but also with the UK while on Erasmus exchange in Cardiff in 2012. I’ve been coming back ever since: first to intern at the Finnish Institute in London, then to work at Oxford University Press. Though I’ve lived in Finland again since autumn, I think one of my feet will always be in the UK – I follow the news on a daily basis, most often through the Guardian website.Language and writing are my thing.

Our staff median age is only about 32 and we’ve got people from all over the world, including the Philippines, Germany, and Bristol. In my spare time, I work as a blog editor for Asymptote, an online publication of literature in translation: we publish reviews, author and translator interviews, international literature news, and much more every day.
