CURRENT MISSION

Explore, help, volunteer, influence, make the world a better, cleaner (and healthier) place, give (and receive when offered), cook and eat food, laugh, live, photograph, do yoga, be creative. Probably lots of other things too!

ABOUT ME

Currently working, sailing and living in Helsinki, Finland. Did a RTW trip 2013-2014 that was magical.

I love sailing, enjoy hiking, exploring nature, good conversations, having a laugh, being active, doing yoga. I enjoy helping people and sharing the life journey with like-minded individuals. I like to try do good deeds as I believe in karma. Random acts of kindness can make a real difference! Treat others like you'd like to be treated seems to have worked well so far, even if not necessarily made me financially rich. Then again great experiences can't be bought and I consider myself really rather rich when it comes to those.

PHILOSOPHY

Explore this beautiful world if ours whilst making sure I'm building up the karma account.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By being observant participant and proactively helping, and offering advice and solutions to your everyday issues and problems, if any were to arise.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few by now, which have all been great and added to the country experience immensely. I have shared houses with various characters and animals all my life and I have been told I am a considerate and fun housemate.

Interests

Sailing, sea, forests, lakes, fields = nature. Food! Enjoy discussing life, relationships, people, astrology and find myself drawn to spirituality and Buddhism. I have practised yoga on-and-off for 20 years. I have a quirky sense of humour, love having a laugh. I look forward to meeting all kinds of beings on my couch surfing journey.
