CURRENT MISSION

Swim everyday! I just got back from an amazing train and couchsurfing trip from Canada and now that I am back home I want to give back some love :-D

ABOUT ME

I have an endless eagerness to travel and explore :) I like meeting new people and getting to know new places. I am interested in alternative/ self-organized culture, willing to do my share and help out while traveling too! I like long bus and train rides, bike rides and nature adventures.
I love animals and visiting animal sanctuaries. I am dreaming of adopting a rescue dog one day and doing more conservation work.

PHILOSOPHY

Do your share, help out however you can. I am still an idealist and believe in change! Social change & equality. I like DIY stuff. I am interested in activism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed and hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience is really positive! With couchsurfing you are not alone even if you are travelling solo :) I have met lovely people through CS and made friends too. One of my former hosts is my dear penfriend now!

Interests

I like riding my bike everywhere. My favorite thing is to see wild animals in their natural surroundings. I also like volunteering and working on animal rescue and sanctuary projetcs.
I am interested in self-organized culture and projects. I believe in equality and in social change.
I like going to punk gigs.
I am learning to tattoo.
I like doing vegan baking for fundraising and solidarity events.
I like sleeping and watching stupid tv-series.
Indigenous cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie: Thelma and Louise. Breakfast on Pluto.
Music: Ghost World from Kouvola! So many, haha.

Books:
Tristan Garcia: Hate a Romance
PM press: My baby rides the short bus
Antti Rautiainen: Planeetan suurin ja viilein
Jack London: Call of the Wild
Sofi Oksanen: Stalinin lehmät

I always have a traveling book with me d read more than I do.

Right now I am listening quite a lot of electro stylish music, but my beloved mp3 has also a lot of punk, hardcore and some hip hop. I fall in love easily with new bands but I can also get bored of them really quickly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coast of Norway by the arctic ocean! Amazing beautiful mountains!

North coast of Ireland and waterfalls in the mountain Mourne!

Northern lights in Kilpisjärvi, Finnish lapland!

78 rescue horses galloping around meadows in Poland!

Dolphins and turtles in the surf! Releasing a green sea turtle back to the ocean whilst volunteering at marine turtle rehabilitation centre.

Hitchiking trips.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH: Vegan baking and basic cooking. I can also teach knitting and basic repair of clothes, and how to make mosaics as well. I can teach you some Finnish if you like!

LEARN: Languages, always languages. Basically I want to learn more of all the languages I know somehow. I want to learn how to play more ukulele. I want to learn from other cultures and to understand people and places better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food!? I can cook something for you whilst I stay. Or I can bring you some little treats from Finland or wherever I am coming from.
I am also great at doing dishes and I am willing to help walk your animal housemates or help look after your kids.

Hosts are also always more than welcome to visit me in exchange too :)
