About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wrapping up a three year trip and find my passion/job.

ABOUT ME

Meeting interesting people gives me energy, and that's why I want to go on a trip.
My partner's page: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/nommela

I've actually been a nomad for quite some time. I like to get to know knew places and blend in with the locals and live like they live.

current travel experiences are on http://downunderandaround.travellerspoint.com/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host people, although I am not always comfortable in doing that, as I am afraid I don't live up to people's expectations ...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted mostly people that I know quite well already, or with whom I have a connection.
