CURRENT MISSION

"We love because He first loved us." (1 John 4:19)
I love Jesus. And He has given me love to love others so I enjoy nothing more than getting to know new people!

ABOUT ME

All about me. Well, find out hahhaa!

I'm trying to live out every single moment of this amazing life I've been given! I love having people around me, and do spontaneous adventures but I also enjoy staring at the lake view in silence.

I couldn't live without Jesus who has rescued me and completely changed my life, friends&family, music..

I'm also known as Mama Africa because despite my blonde looks my heart beats for my "second home" - I've lived in eastern Africa (South Sudan, Uganda, Mozambique) for years and I still lead projects and visit there frequently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've done only surfing by far but I hope one day when I finally settle down I'll be able to open my doors and host people - I'd love to though!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been couchsurfing quite a few times now: in North Carolina, Scotland, Italy, Sweden, Netherlands and Prague! And I've loved meeting new people - I can't wait for the future experiences!

Interests

Jesus, music, friends&family, sports, nature, reading..

I'm very spontaneous and full of life (that's what I've heard :-) and always looking for new adventures!

Generally speaking; I love people, I love smiling, I love making people smiling!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is very important part of my life, whether it's listening to it or playing the piano myself. I could say I listen to music from all genres except hard rock and metal which is funny because I come from Finland (we have lots of those kind of bands ;-)

I also listen to lots of Christian bands such as Hillsong United, United Pursuit, Jesus Culture, Bethel Music, Northwind Collective, Matthew West, Kirk Franklin, Housefires..

I love watching movies! I think the best kind of movie is one that makes me cry, for example Beasts of No Nation, The Grace Card, Schindler's List and Shine.

Can't deny, I read a lot but the Bible is the only one I read daily because it gives encouragement, hope and piece of advice anything else can't.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've visited so many amazing places in my life and done incredible things but nothing compares to living every moment with Jesus and loving people He places in front of me. Also, living in Africa taught me so
much and even though currently I'm living in Finland, I travel multiple times per year all around the world, as God leads.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be definitely able to share about Finnish culture, habits and traditions, and I also have some very crazy stories from my travels..

What I Can Share with Hosts

Endless amount of stories from around the world! Laughter and joy
