Hello, I’m Andrew Hale.
This is my blog. I publish articles on my passions Aviation and Motorcycling as well as Adventures with the family traveling around Europe. As I live here in Finland there are also some hopefully useful article on adapting to life in the Nordics.
Daughter Sofia and son William climbing Mt Kosciuszko, Australia back in 2014.
I am originally from Sydney Australia and and have lived in Espoo Finland for the last 17 years. I have traveled the Nordic region extensively for both business and pleasure.
I have a degree in International Business and have worked in IT for companies including Uponor, Vaisala, Nokia, Microsoft, and most recently Nordea.
At heart I am an entrepreneur. I have a company called Infusion Oy which is focused on IT consulting. On the side I run a pilot shop called Pilotworld, and web hosting with Infusion Web Services.
I am a pilot in my spare time. I took the leap back in 2015 to get an EASA Private pilots license PPL(A). It was a lot of work but well worth the effort. I currently have just over 200 hours flying experience. My goal is to become a Flight Instructor.
Motorcycling Adventure Riding is my other Hobby which I have been doing a lot longer than the flying – about 25 years at last count. I do a bit less of it these days due to family commitments but it was the way I got to explore and love Europe.
As to my personal life I have 3 amazing kids, a wonderful wife, and an energetic Hungarian Vizsla dog called Jimmy. Our main hobby as a family is travelling.
