CURRENT MISSION

DARE TO DREAM!

ABOUT ME

I'm a dynamic, life-loving fitness & food enthusiast from Finland. I'm very curious and always want to learn more, pretty much about anything ;) I looooooooove to explore the world and find out about its interesting inhabitants and different places.

PHILOSOPHY

My goal in life is to learn to listen to my heart and follow my passion, where ever that might lead me. If you think the same way at all, I bet we get along great!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have lived in the US twice, first as an exchange student (in Texas) and later as a "housewife" (without being married though, lol) (in Arizona) while my back-then boyfriend (now husband) was working on his master's thesis. I love meeting people from other countries and learning about different cultures. I hope I can find new friends by participating in the CS community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed with Miranda & Evan in Brooklyn in the summer 2009. They were super nice and I had a great time. Right after that I stayed with Alex & Amanda in Rhode Island. Love these people. My experiences have been only positive! I'm a very easy going, neat, flexible and open person so it's easy to me adjust to different kind of environments :)

Interests

Heavy weight training, reading insightful books, travelling to interesting places, cooking healthy food - especially all the different kind of veggies you can imagine, writing, meeting new people, drinking Yogi tea, writing, stretching my comfort zone, learning, writing. Did I mean writing yet?

I love people! I'm a social animal, yet enjoy my own solitude at times also.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a trance animal! Dance dance...

Movies... hmm! I'm a very emotional person so I like movies that "wake up" something in me. Recently I enjoyed The Slumdog Millionaire, it made me think a lot about our lifestyle and the ever-growing needs us Western people have. We really don't need all those cars and new TV's, that is not the source of happiness. Happiness is within, and it's a decision rather than an outcome.

I love to read books. Mostly I read books about nutrition, exercise and self-development. Right now I'm studying hormonal health and the interesting world of the subconscious mind... before these I really enjoyed some Paulo Coelho's books.
