About Me

I´ve always been a traveler but I kind of got stuck back home after a serious accident, I´ve been part of a lot of social work for the past few years - working with refugees, street children, building a community centre and rehabilitation work with ex-prisoners. While doing this I feel like I´ve neglected my own needs. I am moving to Switzerland and I hope this change will bring me inspiration and peace like I felt back when I wrote this song:

I float in the river of peace,
I transcend into silent euphoria.
The matter of time is no matter at all,
and the big bang still spirals in spatters,

The explosion is everlasting,
we are far from reaching an end.
There's only an end, if we choose to pretend,
but I hope that's a soon passing trend.

I'm open to life, and all of its mystery,
I am keen on the present, future and history.
I'm the heir of creation - the son and the daughter,
a lasting vibration in the earth and the water.

A ripple that grows into waves of new heights,
pair of winds, that give way for new flights.
A vision of truth - what ever may be,
the answer that questions its own own mystery.

I was born in Finland, raised in Estonia, studied in England and have always loved traveling and the uncertainty of tomorrow. I studied Music production/business management in the UK and can now hear Switzerland calling me. Moving there with very little knowledge of what will be but certain that it is a step I need to take right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven´t been active on CS but have hosted some very nice and interesting people through the old community "Hospitality Club" and been volunteering on projects from "Workaway" I always embrace the chance to learn from other people because the worst thing that could happen is us looping the same information in our head without letting any new air in. We would become echo chambers for our own beliefs while we should always cling less and have more faith.

Interests

I am passionate about writing and music. I have definitely written more than a hundred songs but since I can´t sing they always sound different. :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 19 I hitchhiked alone through Europe for 2 months, still one of the best experiences of my life.

Few years ago I had a near death experience and was very lucky to survive. Coma-induced visions were eye-opening and humbling.
