Hi you!

I'm a 25-year old non-binary queer kid from the archipelago in South-Western Finland. My life consists of wonderful people, a lot of classical music, good tea and cake! I'm fully vegan, and love cooking and would probably cook for you! I'm an extrovert but a very shy one :) I'm no party animal and I personally don't drink at all, so if you want someone to show you the nightclubs, keep browsing! But I love spending the night in front of board games or a movie or in a cozy pub! Want to come have your ass handed to you in Monopoly? ;)

I live with two beautiful cats, Luna and Tähti-Igor ("Star-Igor"), who are both rescue kitties - they're a little shy when new people come around, but they're the sweetest.

I'm LGBTIQPA*-friendly (kink- and poly-friendly), and some of these letters apply to me, too. I hope to only accept surfers who are OK with that. Not that it has any practical significance - I just need to make sure that I will remain safe :) My personal pronoun is "they" in English.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in mutual respect and reciprocity. I accept everything except for intolerance. I am vegan but pro-choice in all matters. I believe in love and doing what you can for other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm incredibly shy in the beginning but can get very talkative once I get to know someone. I hope to offer everyone respect and wish to be granted the same :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some amazing hosts though and I've hosted amazing people, and had awesome conversations :)

Interests

Vegan cooking is a favourite pastime. I enjoy music and especially love singing. In my free time I like to move around Turku, check out nice cafés and good tea and move my body. Delicious coffee is the best thing ever and I could never do without good Assam tea, either.

I would say human rights advocacy is an interest - I work with many NGOs and am very active especially in SOGIE things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fantasy, non-fiction, queer literature, adventure... the list is endless!

And music-wise; http://www.last.fm/user/lunacracker. I LOVE CHOIR MUSIC! I could listen to Bach or Durante or Britten or Praetorius all day long!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My work with human rights NGOs have taken me before the United Nations committee against torture, which was exciting and terrifying at the same time!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love discussing philosophy and ethics. I think teaching and learning have to happen at the same time and I like direct contact when it comes to communication - it's hard for me to teach you things online, right?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will happily cook for or with you and I know loads about vegan cooking! I'm also happy to bring you something Finnish if you'd like - most people love and hate salmiakki very much at the same time :D I know a lot about human rights issues, about gender studies and feminism and there are not a lot of topics I can't talk about.
