About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spreading love and light while traveling the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a sociable, open personality, a small energetic package. I love dancing, snowboarding, yoga, surfing and socialising. I've lived most of my life in Finland, but try to travel as much as possible. I lived and travelled Australia for a year a a couple of years back. I like travelling quite spontaneously, as sidetracks often prove to be more interesting than the original plans.

During this and the last year I haven't been very active with couchsurfing as I have been spending my time with my relationships and hobbies in Finland. I also traveled around the world, visiting almost all of the continents.

I have asthma, so I'd appreciate staying with hosts who don't have animals and don't smoke inside.

PHILOSOPHY

I experience and live everything with an open heart. I try to stay in my heart and to live in the now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am grateful for the couchsurfing experiences had in Australia and NZ - I was amazed by the hospitality of the people over there! Most of my best friends in Australia were introduced to me through couchsurfing. I used to also host people when I lived by myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far very positive! I have surfed, shared rides, met up for coffees and activities, and attended meetings. I love the sense of community in CS, and have me so many dear friends and cool personalities through it I can't believe my luck. Definitely a life-changing experience. :)

Interests

Dancing , yoga, snowboarding, surfing, music, getting to know new places and people. I enjoy having good conversations with both strangers and friends. I see language as a key to a culture, so I also enjoy learning new languages. I am a vegetarian, and I don't usually consume alcohol.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming by the Iguazu falls.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could surely teach a couple of dance steps. I have even taught a couple of friends how to surf, though I am still and intermediate surfer myself. I myself enjoy having new experiences with various kinds of sports.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open heart and a listening ear. My mouth tends to speak lots.
