About me

My photo
Sirpa Kaajakari
Los Angeles, California, United States
I grew up in a forest in Finland and moved to the US with my scientist husband in 2006. In Finland I worked in communications, for NGO's and for a political party. Now I work as a freelance translator. I love to learn about natural living, real food, fermenting and healing through nutrition. Kaiku means echo in Finnish. I believe in listening to the echo of our lifestyle, the effect it has to our bodies and the environment.
