About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience, do things I like to do the most. Think. Enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I lived my first 24 years in Oulu, Finland.
After that I started to explore the world..
other cities inside FIN and little bit Holland, Germany, later Denmark, Australia. Aaaand now I am back in my roots, my hometown Oulu. Have to keep on moving (like always) so I am having a small trip right now to Phuket via Singapore and after those couple of months to Australia..

I love traveling!!! , meeting new people, sharing stories and tips, helping and caring people.

PHILOSOPHY

You gotta treat people around you the way you hope to be treated yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about CS from my friends, first time it was when I was still living in Copenhagen. One of my close friend was offering a couch to some surfers. I found it a great idea already that time. When I moved to Melbourne, I finally joined the group after one CouchSurfing get together event = CS Zone.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Australia I met many new friends via CS. I traveled a lot inside/around Australia. I met a lot of great people, and get to know CS a little bit better in that time. While I was living in Santa´s town in Rovaniemi I hosted some people in my couch.. too bad I don´t have that possibility at the moment.

Interests

I am interested of positive people! Well I am also interested of all kind of sports (including surfing!!!) and activities. AND of course I love to have long dinners with plenty of wine (or cider) and long discussion with great people around me!

I enjoy exploring new things, but when I have found some perfect thing to do, I could easily stick into it. I am a horse person..yep, truly and always! I love all kind of animals, actually. Maybe I have extra feelings for hairy animals, since I am allergic to them (as sad as it is). Cute little things, and so much happiness they can bring to you. This is also why I enjoy visiting zoos, I guess.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies, mostly action and thrillers.. but when ever I wanna relax the most I love stupid comedy movies! :)

Music, this is soooooo huge range of all kind of. I can not even list. Lounge or reggae if I feel like it, heavy metal when I feel like it, trance when I feel like it. You know, go with the flow..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing thing was visit Kakadu National Park in Australia. We spend like 3 nights (or was it 2) outside in "camping areas" and hiked a crazy lot in a crazy heat (37 degrees). How much I loved water! :) The best ofcourse was all the views and places with the stories (aboriginal).

Another (again Australia), while having a snorkling trip in Whitsundays, a dolphin came to entertain us in dinner time next to the boat! CUTE! xx

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I am a coach & swimming teacher, so if you need some tips how to swim butterfly or just how to float, let's hop into the pool together. Anything what comes with overall sports (&life) coaching I can talk about it hours after hours..
I am also quite good with mobile phones and computers, so if you have some problem, I can always have a look at it (no guarantees for solving it) :) .

Share & Learn:
Experiences, traveling stories from so many countries.. listen, learn myself and share to you too!
