Overview
About Me
I often go out with my 2 Norwegian Forest Cats - they are like dogs but better.
Brazil. I lived in Sao Paulo for 5 months as a "exchange student" and left a piece of my heart there. I trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Demian Maia's Academy in SP. And i still train in Helsinki.
I am multisocial and love going out (not nightclubs thou). Pubs and red wine, por favor!
Games. I have recently been learning how to play Chess. Other games I like: Civlization, Carcassonne, Thurn und Taxis, Small World, Arkham Horror, Munchkin.. there are so many great boardgames that I just can´t name them all.
Good food, great people and awesome experiences is what I am looking for. I am definitely not a "beach vacation person", beach is cool but I prefer activities. Snorkelling, jungle, rainforest, mountains, little villages, huge cities, wild animals!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am here because when I travel with someone, I seldom meet anyone. And If I go out or travel alone, I always get to know people. Last time I was in Italy and spent a night with a Brazilian couple, it was awesome. BUT I prefer travelling with someone aaand I never get the local experiences that way.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you Finnish, the most imprtant language in the world. I can teach you how to make disgusting Finnish specialities like pancakes made of blood (ok I never cooked it by myself and yes it really is disgusting), Google VERILETUT if you got interested. Personally I prefer more PINAATTILETUT. I probably can still do a proper Caipirinha if you happen to have Cachaça.
I want to be fluent in Portuguese. And I want to learn Arabic.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Finnish food (if you really want to), I can bring something from Finland for you.
For sure I would love to share a drink!
