About Me

Lived five ½ years in Malta, and started travelling around Portugal from Sep 2017. Now I'm looking to stay longer in one place deeper in the countryside.

I'm outgoing and social, always curious about life, learning and experiencing new things.

I write a lot. Both for work and for my own desk drawer. If you see me randomly, I'm probably writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is all about connection

Interests

Sometimes my curiosity is counter-productive when I try to do 10 things at the same time.

  • culture
  • writing
  • reading
  • live music
  • engineering
  • languages
  • nature
  • cuisine
  • karate
  • self-development

Music, Movies, and Books

I started liking Portuguese and Brazilian music last year. I'm still on that path.

I love reading and consume mostly non-fiction on constant basis. No-limits appetite.

I used to love movies, but now Hollywood is all repeat, and artsy is too dragging. Still watch them, though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned to speak fluent Finnish as a baby.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a brown belt in karate and love every occasion to train kata or kihon.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I share the costs with everything we're up to.

I can share etymologies of random words without googling.
