About me

My name is Atte Lahtinen and I am 28 years old. I am born in Espoo, Finland. I study Sports and Leisure Management in Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences. I love orienteering.

In September 2016 I moved to New South Wales, Australia, to coach and teach orienteering. I spent 8,5 months around NSW mapping, coaching and having fun. That's when this blog was founded. 

I like

• Orienteering
• Traveling
• Liquorice, white chocolate and Sour Patch Kids
• Game of Thrones
• Watching American Football
• Emotionally confusing music
• Silence

Orienteering

I started orienteering when I was 7. My club is Helsingin Suunnistajat, one of the largest in the world. I have:

• Ran in 13 Jukola relays and 8 Tiomila relays
• Started in ~300 competitions
• Completed 14 orienteering weeks (been to many more) 
• Orienteered in ten countries (FIN, SWE, ITA, POR, USA, AUS, NZL, LAT, SLO, ESP)
• Won Ungdomens 10mila.

I am not an elite level runner, but I am very skilled orienteer.
