Jaakko is a freelance journalist based in Oulu, Finland. His previous work includes being a radio presenter, photographer and copywriter. Looking at Finnish cities with a perspective of a small-town boy from the cold Lapland, his writing finds unique views on Nordic culture, cuisine and healthy living. He has deep rooted interests in local culture, so much that he and his schoolmates published a photojournalism book about Oulu subcultures. During his free time, he skateboards, collects records and tries to perfect his pizza recipes.
