About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to use my opportunities in full

ABOUT ME

I'm an activist, who probably likes to do at least 100 things at the same time. I'm really into all sorts of art forms and try to occupy my time with it as much as i can. You can say i'm outgoing and anxious to meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was 2 years ago when I went to London with my sister. We stayed there for 2 days, which is not much, but gave somewhat idea of Couchsurfing. However, in autumn 2010, I had the greatest couchsurfing experience in Spain when me and my sister traveled around in Barcelona for 11 days in total. We had 5 different (actually 6) hosts and even now I'm still really pleased by how our trip turned out.(This is actually the reason why I decided to join this page)
The last experiene i had with couchsurfing was back in year 2011. Me and my boyfriend Juhan wanted to visit Paris. I can say, once again, we had very kind hosts there. I am so glad for the opporunity to meet Ben. It really is different, when you are able to meet some local people and get there advice on places to visit and things to do. But our host Ben was kind enough to even cook us some meal and play us some music and drink some good french wine with us. Ah, what a great guy he was indeed!
What i am trying to say, is that me and my boyfriend really appreciate Couchsurfing experienes and we hope to be able to one day be hosts ourselves too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm a big Yann Tiersen and his work fan. Other than that I like to listen to different music genres. Some of my favourites are: SBTRKT, Gus Gus, Patrick Wolf, MGMT, M83, Grizzly Bear, The Shins, White Lies, Explosions in the sky, Mystery Jets, Friendly fires and so on. Oh, and i really love some good old The Smiths

I'm also a huge fan of Wes Anderson and his gorgeous movies.

My all time favourite book is ''Naïve. Super'' by Norwegian author Erlend Loe.
