CURRENT MISSION

happiness !

ABOUT ME

Well, what to say.. I'm very laid back, but eager to experience all kinds of things. I'm calm, laugh and smile easily and enjoy simple things in life. Quiet, but not shy. Talkative according to a few strangers I've met while hitch hiking haha! I love dancing, music and am pretty health conscious even though too lazy at times to put thoughts into action. Having a serious case of Sweet tooth doesn't help either.

PHILOSOPHY in one word:
HARMONY

No extreme is ever good. Always strive to find the center point - to balance the cups. I find life to be exactly that: an eternal dance between 2 sides, 2 extremes, yin and yang.. whatever you want to call them. All problems stem from an imbalance - something is too strong or you are seeing only 1 side of the issue. Instead when one comes to see the other side, balance becomes attainable. Happiness is within your reach. So never stop cultivating harmony...
within yourself, with the world and with the people around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

How could a traveler be satisfied if all they are doing is jump from one ho(s)tel to another? How many amazing (and sometimes baffling) experiences one can have by just meeting locals, staying at their home or by opening ones home to other travelers!! That's why I'm here.

To see life at other countries - not from the window of a taxi, but from sharing the same kitchen table and sharing stories, laughter, life lessons and whatnot with other people.

Interests

MUSIC, striving to do anything that i feel like doing at that current moment (following intuition perhaps.. recognizing what one wants and going for it)

Reading articles online about health and forgetting everything else except the "punch line" from them... then telling my friends "about this one research which was done by.. uh.. some Swedish institute that stated that blah blah because of.. umm.. i don't quite remember this part, but anyway.."

unprocessed, organic food

Surrounding myself with amazing people and meeting new ones

Seeing people smile　(and smiling/laughing with them).

Talking about people's views on life and philosophy! Learning about what's going on in the world from other people's point of view and learning from one another.

Striving to better myself by pushing myself out of the infamous comfort-zone (most of the time this is just talk, but it does happen from time to time :b)

All in all.. pursuing happiness and being true to who I am!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Cloud Atlas, Live is Beautiful, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Disconnect, Maleficent, Pan's labyrinth..

Music: electronic music as a current fav. Psy-chill and the likes to be more specific. But a lot of genres go as a passive listener also.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I escaped from the depths of despair to a world with colors. I found love and amazing people to cherish. It's not the places that matter, but the people that are there with you.

Teach, Learn, Share

Leave your worries behind.

I know, everyone's heard it a million times but really.. when is the last time you actually did that ? The same goes for many other phrases!

------
I can teach how to mix drinks like a Finn or how to open a champagne bottle the right way hahah. Also if there's a piano around, I can teach something on that maybe.. or try to teach at least!
