CURRENT MISSION

I currently teach but I love learning

ABOUT ME

I'm from Finland but I live in Costa del Sol, province of Malaga in Spain since 2007. I work as a language teacher in an academy. I love traveling and discovering new things, places, people and their cultures. I have two dogs and walk a lot with them. In my spare time I read, go out, watch movies and volunteer in a center for immigrants. Protecting the rights of the most vulnerable such as nature, animals, children is my vocation.

PHILOSOPHY

Put love and interest in everything you do. Listen, think and learn, and follow your heart. Don't be afraid to be different. All the people who cross our path teach us something. Everything happens for a reason. You can change your circumstances with a positive attitude, since the human mind is the strongest thing on Earth.
Since we apparently only have one life, I think one way to try to live several lives in one is traveling. I aim to love and respect all the living and I hope the same from the others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I can meet up and sometimes participate in CS events

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of them have been positive since the people in this system seem to be open-minded, laid-back, curious and respectful towards different cultures. Everybody has been nice, friendly and generous.

Interests

Traveling, music (listening it and playing the piano), anthropology, archaeology, history, politics, religions, philosophy, psychology, life coaching, different cultures and languages. Dancing, reading, fashion, sailing, yoga, nature and its protection. Development work. Gastronomy and wines. Good conversations. (You should better ask what I'm NOT interested in!:))
