Greetings from Helsinki, Finland :) *it's so sunny today*

[tantalum]

Hello everyone, I'm a mining engineering student, 25 y.o., currently doing my master's thesis in Helsinki, Finland. I just have to finish this thesis before next August. I'm an Indonesian who was born in Denver and lived in Golden CO for 5 years. Then with my parents we moved back to Jakarta, Indonesia. In 2011, I worked at a coal mining contractor company for 1.5 years as a mining engineer, and I was stationed at Southern Borneo. In 2012, I got this scholarship for a master's program in mining engineering in Europe. It was a great opportunity to go to Europe. During my time in Europe, I have traveled a lot, and one of the best thing I did during my trip was learning solo skydiving in Seville, Spain on July 2013. I also learned some Spanish and Dutch language, it was fun to learn some these new languages 😀

First time I knew TMF was 3 days ago from reading this article: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/money/20-best-finance-books-that-the-richest-people-read.html
And I read the comments below that article, TMF is one of the recommended books by someone at there. Thus I finished reading the book and then found this forum.

I really like the book, it's very cool and so inspiring & motivating. I immediately shared TMF with my younger siblings and friends after reading it. Your writing style @MJ DeMarco is so simple and easy to understand! I appreciate the effort that you did on writing that book! #respect

Now I just have to finish this one process in my life: my master's thesis. After that, I'll focus on doing the next process: be in the fastlane. Honestly, I still don't have a solid concrete plan right now on how to be in the fastlane, but I believe that I will be there and get it done. I am aiming through the passive income that I will get in the next few years, I can travel around the world, improve my skydiving skills, do skydiving anywhere I want, build a happy family and have a good living quality. Basically, I want to have all the 3F's.

I wish that I could learn a lot from you guys in this forum, networking with incredible new people and share new insight with all of you.

I wish you all the best and have a nice day! Cheers!
