Terve tupaan! My name is Anna. I was born into a big family in a beautiful little town called Kokkola in western Finland. I grew up surrounded by music and animals, and that is how I want to grow up in the future too. Now I'm living in Helsinki with my boyfriend Ilkka, and I’m studying acting in the Theatre academy of Helsinki.

I used to be a dog person, but Ilkka taught me to be also a cat person. So now I’m kind of both, but if I’m honest, I’m still not fully a cat person. But I want to grow up with more cats around me, like work on that field. Catfield. Anyway. I like to sing in the grocery and in the shower. And everywhere. But most of all I love cleaning. I think it has something to do with my messy soul. At least I can clean up tables and floors, if my soul is messy. Cleaning calms me down. I can talk about many topics at the same time. I’m actively getting rid of the bad habit of being always late. I'm very unorganized and bad at planning. But that is not the dark side of mine. It’s the brightness of my life! (I like last-minute-requests!)

I'm hearing often that I'm positive. I have no bad days, and I can't be sad for long times. I'm uncomplicated, empathetic and maybe sensitive. My memory is one of the worst in Finland. I hardly remember what I just did. That is also the reason for why I am so happy, I guess. I can sleep easily whenever, where-ever and as long as I want, normally also more than I want.

I love:
postcards, sea, movies, children and seniors, swimming, trampoline, pistachios, cliffs, pictures, folk dance, blueberries, sauna, Moomins, -30 celsius degrees and a sunshine, singing, Chagall, trains, lentil soup, garlic, dark beer, wheat beer, beers in general, picnics, whales, bicycling, old gas stations on the countryside, ykspihlaja, first sunshine in february, horses, lemons, books, persimons, oranges, harbors, movies, second hand stores, swimming suits, midnightsun

I don’t love:
The atmosphere at Zumba-classes, malls, injustice, cold people, network marketing and everything in it, technology (well it is a good thing but I just cant handle it so well), when cashier doesn't say anything, when customer doesn't say anything, when people doesn't look at your eyes, hurry, when I lost my things, shrimps, Starbucks, when neighbor doesn't say hello, when neighbor steals my bike, loneliness, hand-dryers, when people with curls straighten them

Music, Movies, and Books

Thank you for the music.

And movies! I love movies! Especially movies which get me cry and laugh at the same time. I love visually beautiful movies, which concentrate not only to the spot, but also to the pictures in it.

Books are nice and wise too

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nude swimming in the midsummer nights.
(I've seen a newborn baby!) (Love!)

Teach, Learn, Share

Oh well, I can share my stories and jokes. Not much talented in anything, and not a teacher at all. But always happy to cook!

I would like to learn how to play guitar. I want also learn how to do better braids, to speak better english, to speak any language, to bake a bread. To skateboard! I already have the board. AND HOW to to take good pictures. I have camera too but I still don’t know how to use it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Im vegan so I can offer you vegan meal. You cannot offer me non-vegan meal. Hahhahh. Not trying to be annoying, just saying it to make things easier!

I would love to show you around, if I have time. I can take you to theater, movies or gigs. Or the best public sauna. Dinner together is always lovely, cause we all have to talk and eat at some point.
