About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To grow older and viser

ABOUT ME

I'm nice to nice people :)
Blunt, honest, and addicted to coffee
I love ice swimming and cannot wait until the winter is here. Or, hmmm well I do enjoy summer as well.
I get excited over strange things sometimes which makes me seem like a child

PHILOSOPHY

getting older is nice

But if we get theoretical I can confess that I`m quite hooked on a lot of things that has tricky theoretical names: Material feminism, queer theory, phenomenology, relational ontologies, post colonial theory

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted from time to time, and been travelling from time to time. I have chosen a busy lifestyle which makes it difficult for me to host anybody, though I like meeting people through couch surfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

there are some that makes me laugh still after many years, but I won't tell you... :-)

Interests

I love to have long interesting conversations with people. Interests, it is a difficult question. At the moment I am interested to think about consumer culture and what it does to us and what we do with it. Corruption it is.

I like martial arts, but am not doing any at the moment. Parkour is fun

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I saw a guy wiping his dog´s butt, or actually I didn´t see it but I heard about it from a friend and I wished I would have been there to see it :)
Yes I know it`s banal but I couldn`t stop laughing when I heard this. (and yes we can add that I have a quite childish humor sometimes)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you what 'välinpitämättömyydellänsäkään' means, and I´m serious, it is one real word in Finnish and it´s not the longest word to be found!

Countries I’ve Visited

Denmark, Estonia, France, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom
