CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a Finnish student, I was born in the U.S.A., but we moved to Finland about twenty years ago. I was just about eight years old when we moved. I play the trumpet, sing, dance, act - just about anything! I like entertaining people and reading and writing and all kind of stuff =) I occasionally do creative things, like painting and handiworks.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't do the same mistake twice! Music is good for you! Laughing is good for you :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like hosting quite a lot :) Just giving a place to sleep or sharing an experience with other people. Being able to go for a coffee and show the town around is a special moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been as a host and it has been AWESOME!
Living in Tallinn 2009 was made so much enjoyable and interesting when I was a part of the local community. I experienced a wide variety of cool stuff - playing football, board games, watched movies, was hosted for 1,5 months!! I've had really interesting guests as well from many countries :)

Interests

Music, reading, travelling, etc. Sleeping. SAUNA! I'm big on sauna :) Snow. I love cross-country skiing when it's spring and there are these lovely paths to take and the sun is shining and you still can ski on ice. I like picking berries when it is the season.

Music, Movies, and Books

I learned to read when I was four umm.. Dr. Seuss :) The Chronicles of Narnia - generally C.S. Lewis is a great writer, I've read quite a lot of his books - and those that I haven't read, I read. Jane Austen. I like movies - some teach essential things of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* I've seen some of my close friends in amazing relationships

* I had a concert of songs that I had composed myself. Perfoming them to my friends was one of the most amazing things I have done. It was like bringing out a part of the most inner me for everyone to see. And my friends still loved me and encouraged me

* Snow :) It's always amazing how it makes the landscape so beautiful and crisp.

* Made a my own jazz record with a little help from my friends ;)

* ROADTRIP TO LAPLAND IN AUGUST 2009 I'm never going to forget it! It was just unbelievable - dropping the car keys into a rock mountain. That's the definition of amazing...

PS. Sorry guys, couldn't stick to only one!
