Totally in love with life and exploring things around myself and even more those, which are far, far away.

I like challenges - in my opinion, it is important to go out of my comfort zone whenever I have a chance because it broadens experience, hardens character, and very often leads to something unexpectedly amazing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to give my guests the most I can at any given moment since I know that I will get it back 10x when traveling myself... I started CS in Finland, Porvoo, where I have hosted most of my guests, although have hosted couchsurfers also in Canada and Latvia.

Interests

I often spend my leisure time in an active way with like-minded people and friends. I like being in nature, it is why I enjoy hiking and paddling in summers, as well as I like photographing.

Another thing I am passionate about is traveling and exploring new cultures - World has become a smaller place since I do CS, travel on low budget bases and are up to adventures that come along the way.

I can truly say that I don't mind and even prefer comfort, but at the same time I am desperate to spend a week in a tent every now and then, my friends know me as the person who can sleep wherever and whatever, so it isn't a problem for me to spend night on a thin mattress or even without it as long as it is warm enough. :)

Working hard and having fun even harder.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I do not have one big thing I could mention, but there are plenty of moments, which have made my life amazing - two nights on tiny sailing boat in see storm in a way from Gotland, the first time reaching a peak of mountain after challenging hike and a incredibly fast bike ride down the serpentine, countless sunsets and sunrises, silence in Sahara desert under falling stars, nights next to bonfire and not only...

Teach, Learn, Share

Make sure that you – host - and your CS have similar expectations, so that no one is disappointed.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe CS is about getting to know people, sharing stories and creating new ones - together.

P.S. If you visit Finland, I can give you the best Porvoo tours, although I am located in Helsinki.
