About Me

Or: A Few Honesty Moments.

I'm a forty-something Aussie-Brit-Finn. I grew up in Australia and moved to Finland in 2009, when I married a Finn. I was then naturalised there (making me a triple citizen). Thus the three passports, the name of this blog. After eight years in the snow I came to the UK.

I've always been relatively frugal thanks to being raised on low incomes and then not being wealthy myself. But my low income in Finland led to me trying not to be a bigger burden than necessary. So, lots of thrift shopping and buying in bulk. Not rocket surgery.

Finland taught me quite a lot of unexpected lessons about frugality too, and how "consumery" I used to be. Before, I simply bought stuff without thinking about whether I really needed it. Now I buy far less and it is honestly effortless and painless. So you could say I turned a tiny bit Finnish. Don't worry, I will share :)

I now live in the UK, working, but not rich. So one thing I do a lot of is to try to figure out how to avoid the cost of things. Like... I want something awesome and expensive, but I can't have it because (money, or, having to do some certain thing in order to get that money). Yes well I'm stubborn, and I like to figure out ways around that reason.

There you have me. Welcome.
