Just finished my masters at University of Helsinki. I'm open minded, active listener and overall a decent human being. I love dancing, sauna and new experiences.

BTW my face is not clear in the pictures, because I generally don't put my face on social media. That is because my online identity was once stolen, so I do not feel comfortable having my face out there in the open. If you want a picture of me with my face clearly visible, you can ask that in a private chat. I guarantee, I am a very real person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living with a local is the best way to explore a new place. I'm also interested in meeting new people around the world. I'm looking forward to both visit and host.

Interests

I'm generally interested in analysing my surroundings. Sometimes it's through books, sometimes movies, sometimes through dancing - it's all the same. I'm also really good at saying yes to new experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pop in any language I can understand. Recently I've been listening to Lana Del Ray, Mumford and sons, Olavi Uusivirta and Кино.

At the moment I'm reading David Mitchell's Cloud atlas and convincing myself that I'm reading Nabokov's дар по-русски.

One of the great movie experiences this year was to see Call me by your name. I was also surprisingly entertained watching Death of Stalin. I recently canceled my Netflix and started playing ukulele and thus wait for Award for Being a Better Person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Iceland we went on a field trip to the glaciers and in the way we saw a waterfall. That's when I realised that a rainbow is actually a circle, where you usually see only half of it. This time it made a full circle around the waterfall. Nature is the biggest miracle of them all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basics/intermediate in about 10 different dances both for followers and leaders. I'm also always keen on learning new dances or more russian.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Enchanting conversations about culture, politics and life and also weird Finnish candy for souvenir.
