Overview
About Me
26-years old life lover from Finland. Bubbly, laid back, fun loving and easygoing young women. A dreamer and wonderer, explorer and learner.
Nearly 7 years on the road and won't stop.
Passionate about the ocean, and anything related to it, watersport fanatic. I'm dive master, free diver, surfer and soon to be sailer.
Into hiking and outdoors, adventures,nature and wildlife.
Interested in finding solutions to environmental issues and living sustainably.
I love festivals to dance at and parties with good music, art an creativity, and sharing stories with strangers.
I'm also happy to crawl into my own space to read books, create art and learn about design and photography.
Always happy to eat! Who doesn't love good food - and wine.
PHILOSOPHY
Karma
There's always a sunshine after every storm.
Everything always happens for a reason.
Without earthquakes there are no mountains.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have experiences of couchsurfing from both ancles, hosting and surfing.
Those times when I actually have ability to host people I gladly do that. So far that has only happened when I've been in Finland. I guess what comes around goes around, it's good to help mates on the road out. And I like to feel traveling vibes while I'm setteled.
When traveling, I like to make new friends and see new places from local view.
Basically, I love the idea of global community and sharing.
Interests
Life. Oh man don't get me started.
Art, creativity and expression in all forms; painting photographing, drawing. Writing, capturing emotions, moments. Dancing! All this I enjoy to do by myself or to see other people doing things.
Ocean in all kind of ways. Started from surfing but once I did my scubadivibg lisence I really got into marinelife. Just being in the water is way of meditation for me. Nowadays I'm a dive master, free diver, and soon to be sailer. Eventually I'd love to contribute to research and uw photography. Marine wildlife is a huge interest and inspiration of mine and ocean conservation is close to my heart.
Festivals. Put together good vibes, lifestyles, communitys, music, arts, great people and beautiful places, and built a big party around these things. I can't say no. The party-animal side of me loves to have fun and see friends and strangers having fun. And oh I love music and dancing!
Recently I've been more interested about recycling, ecological living and alternative food diets. While traveling I've seen incredible things and how every single small thing is effecting to a bigger picture, it makes me want to make a act for our mother nature and as well, humanity. I am making my way to change some of my every day habits but I still have a lot to learn.

Teach, Learn, Share
Everything. I want to hear, see, learn everything you could possible teach me.
I'm open minded for everything.
I'm not quite sure what, but I hope I can possible teach you something too.
I do believe we are all here learning something from each other. Sharing stories and seeing other ways of living, that's what I want to do, that's what it's all about
What I Can Share with Hosts
Friendship!
I can share my time and the little knowledge of life what I've gotten.
I also gladly share food.
