We are a small family of Jessu, Jani, Nuppu (7 years) and quite many plants and one frog living together. We enjoy life a lot having smaller and bigger adventures, eating together in the garden, having great discussions on what ever topics, walking barefooted, practicing relaxing into the unperfect perfection and re-learning all kinds of things we thought we already learned. My kid Nuppu lives with us half-timely. We smile, read bedtime stories and occasionally drink a glass of wine or two. We are all quite good at climbing trees and leikki, which is kind of playing with a slight but very meaningfull twist to it.

I am a community and adventure educator (bachelor's of humanities). I enjoy turning things (especially myself) upside down, finding new points of view and enjoying daily dada's. I usually have all kinds of small projects at hand and find myself a few more before I get to finish the ones I already started. I enjoy ideas and figuring things out and doing things with my hands. I meditate in the morning and write random stuff in the evening. I also write poetry on bananas.
This is (mainly) our common profile, though Jani also has his own (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/jani.kaya).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

.problem solving (with random solutions)
.small diy-projects (plants, crafts, origami, cards, drawing, random shit out of random stuff)
