**Who am I? **
My name is Sami Ylinen. I started climbing in 2006, and I've been a certified climbing instructor since 2016 with the Swedish Climbing Federation, Svenska Klätterförbundet. I have previously worked as a climbing instructor and shop manager at Klättercentret in Malmö, and I also teach climbing at Malmö Climbing Club.
I'm originally from Timrå, but I've lived in Malmö for more than 20 years. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy climbing sport or trad, preferably in Spain, making pancakes over a camp fire, painting and drawing, and building stuff. I also work as a goldsmith. I have masters degrees in music and in pedagogy, and I'm a certified first aid and CPR instructor.
