About Me

I would love to host you.

CURRENT MISSION

Find happiness, wherever it may roam.

ABOUT ME

Relaxed, adventurous, curious of life and new people. I take people as they are and accept their customs, try to embrace them and learn from them, as long as my views are accepted as well. Do unto other as you wish to be done to yourself.

I enjoy music in all forms, new friends and experiences and overall drifting with my life. I will rather easily go along with even the wildest suggestions: this already brought me on a random one-year trip to Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines!

I might appear shy or reserved at first but will surely burst to bloom when we get to know better. ;P You never know, eigh?

PHILOSOPHY

Some food, some love, and life is good.
..a little sunshine won't hurt either. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything. I read everything. I watch everything. I just enjoy it more if it's good. And what makes it good? I have no idea.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spontaneous traveling, home and abroad.
I have couchsurfed with rubber ducks, Santa Claus and mushrooms. People are amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer some info about various aspects of Finland and the Finnish lifestyle. I also enjoy music and other arts, experiencing and creating. And I love to share experiences with others.

- Finnish language
- Finnish cooking
- Finnish everyday life
- Finnish consumption of Coffee
- Finnish consumption of Alcohol
- Cultures and people near to Finland
- Cultures and experiences from travels

I want to learn more about YOUR culture, YOUR language, and YOUR cuisine! I love food and according beverages, although sadly often cannot indulge due to limited budgets. I know what life is like back home, I want to know what it is like in someone else's home.

If you ask me "How do you like your coffee?" I'm going to reply "I'll have it the way you're having it." Because having it my way every time would be just boring.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations, recipes, thoughts on gardening
