Finished army service in Finland, the company I'd been working for opened an office in Singapore, jumped at the chance to become its first engineer and not see snow again for a while. Spent 8 years in Singapore and traveling around the region (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, India, UAE, Saudi, Kuwait...), met my wife, founded a startup, which flopped but led to a job offer from Australia. We headed over on a work visa, applied for and received permanent residence 2 years and a bit later [1], and I became a citizen last year.
