I'm an ocean enthusiast who enjoys traveling, being outdoors and relaxing with good food (both eating and cooking -and did I mention eating?) as well as wine, music, books, and movies.

I'm looking to meet new people in Bangkok where I live and work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great concept! I've met so many interesting people, had amazing meals and great travel tips via CS.

Interests

Oceans, wildlife, vegetarian and vegan food, books, traveling, movies, gardening, music, knitting, second-hand shops and markets (and all kinds of old stuff), languages, documentaries, bicycling, hiking, board games (always ready to play Carcassonne!), camping.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Finnish (it's not as hard as they say!) and how to make great hummus and stuffed sweet potatoes. I can also teach you how to knit a pair of mittens or a beanie.
