CURRENT MISSION

Live and let live!

ABOUT ME

I am a 30-year-old womangirl, trying to get along with life and myself. I am interested in almost everything, but have to admit that patience is something I lack.... I have grown up in downtown Helsinki, but am now living in a small city of Kokkola, and enjoying it. Studying music has taught me to see myself in a new light, maybe even accept myself more. I am not a madcap (found this from an internet dictionary), rather content with quite ordinary stuff. I like warm people, discussion, peaceful atmosphere and pace, woods and trees, hiking, voices, colours, swimming, cycling, doing regular things with others ie. cooking.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live :) I am also careful with the things I wish, since those wishes likely come true. I am not a member of church, but I do believe in life and in love. I believe we are equal as humans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to find some couches as I am going to travel to Canada (Toronto, Vancouver) and USA (Seattle) in a short while (June-July 2011)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just unofficial experiences so far :)

Intolerance, prejudice, concentrating on other people's lives, bullying, football or other sports in TV ( I dont own one), stress, expectations, narrow mindness

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess all encounters with children are somewhat amazing. But I underline only those which I have been able to concentrate my full conscious to.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I can show how to play some instruments (for instance kantele) and teach them a bit. I can also make some finnish food for you (I guess I know some :) and I can teach you to knit or crochet. And of course I will teach some basic finnish, if you are interested.
