"The older I get, the more I want to spend time in the forest. I want to avoid people, depressing daily news, and above all modern politics, which seems to divide people into two camps.In the middle of the forest, surrounded by the sounds of nature, you quickly realize how small the things are that we stress and worry about.
I just like to spend time with my family, walk in the forest, swim regularly, and of course write."Markku J Parviainen
