I see myself as an outgoing and nice person, who is easy to get along with. I have quite a humble attitude towards life and everything it has to offer me.

"Living is nothing but consuming time until you die."
But I want to make the most of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never been able to host anyone, but as I've learned there are many people only hosting and not surfing, I think in the end it is even. Attending CS meetings at your home town is a great way to meet new exciting people, and give something from your own country, that they might not otherwise get.

Interests

I think, with the right attitude, everything is interesting! But I really like going out, meeting people, connecting with them. Long conversations about other cultures and languages -that's why I loved being an exchange student! I appreciate good (and lots of) coffee, good wine, good beer and of course good food. But not too spicy.. Because I'm Finnish, I really enjoy pure nature and spending time outside. Swimming nude in a lake is amazing! And I also love animals. Or most of them. I play piano a little bit and in addition to regular pop/rock music, classical piano/violin pieces are my favourite.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is rather weird sometimes, I concentrate on different things depending on the genre. My favourite books are mainly fantasy, there's a little escapist living inside of me.. With movies I usually like the ones, that are touching and raise some big thoughts in you afterwards.
