I live in Helsinki and write about wars and battles throughout world history. My ancestry is half Turkish, on my father's side, and half Finnish, on my mother's side. I was raised a Muslim, but my current religious views lean toward agnosticism. Turkey, Mongolia, Mexico, the United States, China, France, Japan, and Russia are some of the places I have visited.
