Finn living in Morocco, preciously avid world traveler before settling in to my second home country. Yoga teacher, acro yoga enthusiast, whippet owner, retreat center manager in the mountains by the ocean.. I recently bought a lyra hoop, so learning to play with it. I enjoy hiking and doing all things active, but I'm also lazy and I miss libraries in Finland like crazy!

I'm a clean and considerate guest. Trying to be as punctual as possible. I really appreciate the hosts as I know myself that as it is fun to host, it is also a time commitment!

Find me on instagram @ellekokkala to get a better view of what I do with my life or @lavidasurfretreats to see what I do for work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like so many kinds of music, no specific genre. Rock, pop, reggae even.

Movies... Black Swan, The Amazing Spider Man, does documentaries count as movies? :D Blackfish and Maidentrip are the ones to mention.

I really enjoy reading, but it's hard to mention favourites! Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss was really good. Some other authors whose books I enjoy: Anne Rice, John Verdon, Ransom Riggs..

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share yoga practice with yogis or even with people who haven't tried yoga, I can teach or show you some basics!
Flow yoga, hatha yoga, yin yoga, acro yoga, meditation....

I enjoy cooking and always looking for new inspiration!
