About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people and travel all over the world, obviously. Also learning to be more merciful towards myself and others.

ABOUT ME

I don't really know what to write in here. I'm sociable and always searching for new experiences, and it's been said that one is never bored with me. I adore animals, especially dogs. And, of course, I love traveling and meeting people from different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some lovely surfers in Rome and they made me interested in trying it myself! Now I've done mostly hosting, and every person who I've met has been wonderful in their own silly way.

Interests

Cooking all kinds of dishes, scuba diving, reading.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's a long list to put here, almost anything really. As a literature student I've read a lot, but my favourite authors of all time are Kurt Vonnegut, Stephen King and Mika Waltari. I enjoy a good science fiction story, especially when it's political.

As for music, my boyfiend and I listen to a lot psytrance, d&b and psychedelic 60's rock. The Beatles is our favourite band! I also enjoy live classical music and Finnish reggae (I know it sounds weird, but it's the best thing).

I'm not much of a movie person, but I do like an occasional horror flick or a comedy. My newest enjoyment is iMax movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've diven over 30 metres below the water surface! The things you can see there are amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Finnish culture and funny stories, I hope they are enough.
