About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current everyday mission is to enjoy life and experience all its funny/boring/wacky/annoying/peaceful/stupid/happy/improvised/heartwarming dimensions. Making art and enjoying culture.

ABOUT ME

I'm 31, living in Finland, Tampere, with my boyfriend + cat. Studying Crafts and Recreation. I love to have a good time with friends, travel when possible, listen to music and do artsy/craftsy stuff. I have previously lived in UK and Spain, and who knows where in the future. There are so many places to see!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHURFING

I am not able to offer a couch right at this moment. However it would be nice to meet up with Surfers. Interesting encounters that involve cultural (inhe broad sense of culture) activities would be good.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

signed up on CS back in 2005 but had my first CS experience as late as summer 2013. I went to Morocco with two friends and had a great couch surfing experience.

Interests

Making/thinking of/talking about crafts/art (a.t.m. YARNBOMBING + drawing especially), travelling, meeting people, reading fantasy novels, watching movies, talking to animals using a silly voice, going to arts galleries/museums/conserts/gigs/festivals, singing to myself, practicing playing ukulele, laughing at stupid things, enjoying good vegetarian food, avoiding doing the dishes, making big plans, appreciating the little things in life
