About Me

I’m a calm and introverted person but I can also be very talkative and fun when I feel relaxed. I love everything weird and unexpected and I can get easily excited about pretty much anything. I also have a very weird and sarcastic sense of humour.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel that I can learn something valuable from every person I meet. Communicating and sharing ideas will make the world a better place.

Music, Movies, and Books

It depends on my mood what I like to listen to, but my favorite genres are trip hop, jazz hop, afrobeat, house and Finnish folk music.

I love movies by David Lynch, Harmony Korine and Agnès Varda. I also like scifi movies and tv shows that make your head spin, such as I Origins, Frequencies, Interstellar and Black Mirror

Lately I've read mainly Finnish authors. I like poetry and experimental stuff. My favorite authors at the moment are Eeva Turunen, Reetta Pekkanen, Henriikka Tavi and Kaija Rantakari.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While I was doing my exchange in Milan, me and my flatmate ate a lot of cerials and collected codes from the packages which let you order a spoon with personalized engravings. After 16 packages of cereals, we ordered four spoons with Finnish swearwords engraved in them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you palm reading.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always have this Finnish candy called salmiakki with me to share with my hosts or other travelers. I love seeing how people react to it. Some love it and some hate it.
