#6: New Office

Kerava isn’t that far away from Helsinki, and specifically my work office. In fact depending on where you live in Helsinki it might take you longer to get to said office than it takes for me from Kerava.

About 35km (roughly 22 miles for those using a different measurement unit), and even though Finland has excellent public transportation, it’s still a journey that takes almost an hour in one direction.

I know it’s not much. But if you had the choice and there would be almost no downsides, would you not work from home, or much closer to home?

That’s exactly what has happened, over the years I’ve always wanted to have a Kerava office, ideally one within walking distance. It would mean that I don’t spend as much time communiting, I could come home for lunch if I chose to, and I’d reduce travel costs significantly as well.

Without revealing too many personal details and just details in general this is something that has now come together and happened. A whole room, strictly for my work and work related items and equipment. No distractions. Most of the time no one else is there and I can work in peace and quiet. Well if you don’t count the bedrock explosions that are currently ongoing as part of the outdoor swimming pool renovations just some hundred meters or so away.
