CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the little things while waiting for bigger ones to come along.

ABOUT ME

I am a 30 year old woman from Finland. I am a bit shy, like most Finns, but worth the while. I enjoy nature, walks, art and lately taking photos of all things pretty.

I'm ecologically minded (though I fly a bit :() and almost hundred percent vegetarian. I like to ponder things that go on in this world. I enjoy the occasional drink, even getting hammered, but do so rarely (these days).

Oh and I can laugh too, joking's and laughter are important in this life!

PHILOSOPHY

Be grateful for what you've got and more will be given to you.

Treat others the way you would like to be treated.

Dalai Lama's quotes, like Once a year, go someplace you've never been before...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking for a couch or two to crash onto on my travels and also will be happy to host people once I get a good feel about them. Not picky, just want to make sure it's safe :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far only hosted once and sufred twice... Hoping to add to that :)

Interests

Nature, water - lakes, rivers, the sea, the oceans - very drawn to them. Also love different types of trees and plants (I'm going to become a horticulturist after all).
Travelling. New places, new faces.
Art. Photography. Beautiful scenes.
Reading. Watching documentaries.
Sport, jogging, biking and rollerblading, skiing, ice-skating... Want to give surfing a go again, also wish I had a terrain bike... Want to challenge myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots and lots and lots. I'm bad with names, so will be hard making a list.

I watch Love, actually every Christmas, but that's about the only chick-flick I watch any more.

I mostly like drama. Movies that could actually have happened. Also ones that show what life is like in places I haven't been, or in cultures unknown to me.

I also read a lot. I like drama, thrillers and also funny but clever, sarcastic books about the life we lead...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hm. It's little things you see everyday if you take a moment to look around, today it was droplets hanging of the tree branches, the snow melting of them...
