Introduction	So who am I? A Finn living in Washington, DC. I was born and raised in Helsinki where I also studied until I went to Sweden for a doctorate in Social and Economic Geography at Lund University (www.keg.lu.se). These Nordic neighbors are the first two among the five countries on three continents I’ve lived in for any longer period of time. My entire adult life has been spent in international development and environment, parts of it in academia, others in international organizations, and the private sector as consultant. I now work with the Global Environment Facility evaluating the effectiveness of the programs around the world.

You can whistle and steam can whistle, so why do you sing in the shower?

Because the steam sings with me.
