Hello world! My name is Janika and I'm a silly girl from Finland. I've been told to be sweet, friendly and considerate person, who finds positivity and excitement from many things.

Even though I enjoy me time by playing games time to time, nothing beats quality time with friends and loved ones... by playing games together of course. I like to compensate gaming by doing sports and being outside in nature. I do boffering (soft sword fighting) as a hobby. Together with medieval style scenarios of fighting it includes camping in close to nature environments in boffering events, which I like. I also like doing miscellaneous sports, and if you want I can go for a run or a jog with you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people and make friends all around the world, and travel as much too. I like having company in my house, and also like spending time with people in general.

Interests

I'm passionate about arts, games and nature related things.

I have been to art schools and education since secondary school till this day, so I like to create art by various ways, such as drawing, painting, photographing and crafting.

I like playing as well as creating games, whether is it a video game or a board game. I go to board gaming events, game jams, lan parties and similar events wherever and whenever I can.

Having a stroll or a run in nature really helps me to sooth down. I enjoy gardening. Environmental causes considers me as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

My preferable type of music is alternate and melodic rock. I don't mind listening to other types of music, and I prefer it so as well to get to know more bands and artists. I've seen for example Mew, Muse, Placebo and Disco Ensemble live, and I've been to Positivus festival in Latvia in 2015.

I like watching gritty, thriller, musical and animated movies and TV-series, but romantic comedies and crazy humour goes time to time. I'm open to watch any kind of movies, really. My favourite TV-series for example are American Horror Story and Breaking Bad. And when it's about movies... oh my, it goes from Miyazaki's to Burton's and still to Tarantino's movies.

Comics and scientific books are more to my taste, but I really like gritty and detective novels too. So many books to read for me still...
