*CURRENTLY WANDERING AROUND SOUTH AMERICA AND THEREFORE UNABLE TO HOST*

BEFORE SENDING REQUESTS - Please read the info about our home carefully, including the note at the end ;)

I'm 27 years old, (21 at heart).
-Luxury is a thing I have no desire for, I'd pick sleeping on the floor with a backpack serving as a pillow over fancy hotel rooms any day of the week.
-A vegan, an activist, a tree hugger, if you will.
-An extrovert and social butterfly who still loves solitude more than most things. Socialize hard, isolate hard - type of person, hah..
-Half of my heart belongs to nature, exploring and trekking, the other half to tattoos, music, unfamiliar cities and their chaotic, urban vibe.
-Suffering, and I use the term very loosely, from a severe case of wanderlust.
-Forever a devoted music lover.

Let's share our points of view, get lost in a city, camp in the woods, have a little or lots to drink, or just hang out and do nothing. Not even boredom is boring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Let's get real - I'd be insulting your intelligence if I was to claim that budget wasn't a factor here ;)
But more than that, I'm looking forward to connecting with like-minded people, swapping stories and points of view. I've yet to really use CS for this, but I often travel solo and have found the best part of it be meeting new people and forming friendships around the world.

Interests

I am or can be interested in just about anything. I don't believe that useless skills exist so whatever little thing you can teach me I'll take it with a firm belief it could be a life-saver one day ;)
Currently I'm really desperate to improve my Spanish skills (which barely even exist) so if you speak Spanish, please help me!

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is very wide. I can be picky (sometimes annoyingly opinionated) but never genre-specific. Punk, rock and alternative music first stole my heart so those will always interest me the most, but I also like electronic music, some hiphop, hardcore, indie, singer/songwriter stuff.. You name it. Even been trying to get into some classical music lately.
Same goes with books, there's too much many to list really!
Classic literature, poetic literature and novels are the best.
Also, if you love Neil Gaiman and everything he's ever written, we're instant friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? Oh shit. Can't pick. It's like picking a favorite child (I imagine, as I don't actually have any kids.... )
One of the most memorable ones is when I completed a 82km trekking trail in rural, northern Finland that crosses rivers, mountains, and thick forests, all by myself with a backbag nearly half of my body weight.

Teach, Learn, Share

Vegan cooking and baking are within my set of skills and if that's something you'd like to learn more about, I'm probably someone you'd want in your kitchen with you.
Can also teach English, Finnish and Swedish if desired!
Always up for swapping (especially travel-) stories and experiences, universe talk, exploring, or just having a beer in complete silence. Whatever floats your boat, I'm probably in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, bake, teach Finnish or Swedish and tell a whole lot of really bad jokes.
