CURRENT MISSION

Have a free mind

ABOUT ME

My friends would probably describe me open, adventurous, a bit crazy and emphatic person. I like to put myself in front of new challenges like travelling alone and nothing is better than spontaneity.

Writing has been closest thing for me since I was a child and at the moment I am enthusiastic about performing poetry.

Now after graduating as a journalist I want to learn from life by travelling around, meeting new people, reading and writing a lot and being FREE!

PHILOSOPHY

By accepting constant change in everything, not clinging in anything we can find a piece of truth. I think that only way to be free is to understand and control our own mind. If I should answer what is sacred for me I would say three things: Nature, Compassion and Forgiveness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think this is a brilliant website and unlike many social media pages, it has a pure, beautiful idea. I still haven´t used webpage a lot, because often I end up couchsurfing by just meeting people... But when I get back to Finland, I want to host people.
