CURRENT MISSION

Have a good time on this planet and share it with you

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded, creative person who needs her daily amount of laughter. I'm Finnish but I have lived in several European countries throughout my life, now 'back' in Helsinki!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to enjoy life every possible way: lovely people, good food and drinks, and some music. What else do you need?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I always enjoy sharing travel stories, talking about life in general and having a good laugh especially around a home-cooked meal or a nice glass of wine. And party of course! Creative activities are also part of my favourites: let's make something together!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS put some wonderful people on my path, both hosts and guests.

I will never forget the great times I had in Tokyo thanks to CS: I was welcomed with so much kindness I sometimes had tears in my eyes :)

Interests

I like trying out new activities, even the most random ones. I love creating stuff for fun, be it experimental cuisine, making a random video with Lego, singing songs, drawing or building imaginary characters out of blankets.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies I like: my neighbour Totoro (Miyazaki!), Garden state, The 100 foot journey, Her...

Music: I like most tunes along the lines of rock, indie pop and electro, and much more. Some stuff I listen to: Angus & Julia Stone, Woodkid, Alt-j ...

I love reading books too but I find it hard to give my favourites. The Little Prince is in the top 3 for sure. Depends on the mood of the day!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ziplining down the Atomium. Trekking in the jungle in Northern Cambodia. Scuba diving with clownfish on Koh Lipe, Thailand. Cherry blossom viewing in Osaka, Japan. Watching a thunderstorm in a starry sky, Koh Lanta, Thailand. And so much more...

My life is full of exciting adventures :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you:
- to make plasma using seedless grapes and a microwave
- to cook and bake a wide selection of dishes from mojito cupcakes to Finnish meatballs
- to flavour your alcoholic beverages in the dishwasher
- to dive backwards
- to make a geyser using a kettle

Warning: my classes on special skills involving messing up a kitchen (e.g. geyser) will be taken to a theoretical level only.

I'd be very interested in learning how to play the ukulele, origami, drawing techniques, new recipes, as well as other random skills.
