ABOUT ME

Curious, modest, happy and calm but I have a lot of energy and think twice. I enjoy the littlest things and look on the bright side but I'm not pure glitter and starlight. The best conversations are the ones where you learn something new, get a new perspective or get your mind changed, but sometimes it's relaxing just to talk about the breakfast we had yesterday or the color of your shoes. I'm always up for dinner, a glass of wine, beer or strawberries at a place in the sun, in a bar or just on a couch. And parties. Don't forget the parties.

No matter if I'm at home or traveling, I love walking and biking around in the nature and in urban regions, road-tripping, sailing, both adventures and just chilling at a nice spot.

I like sunshine.

I do different kinds of volunteer work and payed work, either nothing or too much.

Right now I study the Sami people and their languages (Fenno-ugric languages and cultures) at the University on Helsinki.

I spend the most of my money on traveling, books, food and live music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know new people, new cultures from the colloquial perspective and be able to host other travelers and share great experiences. See things from different perspectives and exchange knowledge. Avoid the tourist side of the world.

Interests

I've played soccer and danced ballet, I write and read and sometimes I spend days photographing.
If I'd be more of a mathematical person I'd build my career around developing airplanes to more environmentally friendly but for now I'll settle with getting the ATPL (airline traffic pilot license) at some point of my life.
I love biking and try to eat as vegan as I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

Live music is the best music but yeah I love artists like Alt-j, Florence+machine, the Beatles, Major Lazer, Sia, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers...

Movies: Shutter Island, Black Swan, Howl's Moving Castle, The Lord of the Rings...

About TV-shows, I love Shameless (US), Family Guy, BBC Sherlock, Game of Thrones etc but I've been lazy actually watching them, Sherlock is the only one that I've watched from start to finish on my own.

Authors I respect and pieces of art that I love are J.R.R Tolkien, J.K Rowling, Maria Turtchaninoff, Agatha Christie, the Tintin series by Hergé, Unknown Soldier by Väinö Linna ....
