About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding my way in life

ABOUT ME

Several friends told me, that I have kinda Finnish erhh... appearance or that I at least fit into those stereotypes about the Finns (despite the blond hair): I am taciturn and I like to drink :)
And I like the Finnish music, like Apocalyptica, My Shamefull and (thanks to Joke) Sojatumala

PHILOSOPHY

Don't panic!
-Douglas Adams

Don't let yourself be filled with hate, or you will face another day in hell...
-Days Of Grace (metal band from Leipzig, Germany)

I wouldn't say that I have a personal philosophy, but veganism and sustainability are two important issues in my life.
I try to be kind to the people around me and help wherever I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A girl in a Berlin hostel said i do not look like i had too much money and scribbled some names of couchsurfing sites on the back of a supermarket reciept and handed it to me. Now i'm here :)

At first I only hosted and that was a great experience! It's such a great opportunity to make friends around the world. During my last holidays I had the opportunity to surf some couches and it was awesome!

Interests

First of all music i guess, this metal-gothic-rock stuff like Slipknot,Gojira, Apocalyptica... Some old music like that of Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin.

I am participating in the local animal rights group doing demos, campaigns and the like.

Mmmh, some time ago I've been skateboarding, but since my studies are very time-consuming I don't skate very often anymore...
From time to time I sew (e.g. a bag, skirt, wallet...) because sometimes the things that you can by just don't fit my taste and i like d.i.y. :)

Well, I guess it is quite clear that i like traveling :)
