CURRENT MISSION

See and experience as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

Living and studying in Helsinki. Sharing my flat occasionally with my partner Rasmus, who's studying in Lahti.

In our freetime we listen to music, take walks, see exhibitions, enjoy cafés, find new places, watch movies, drink wine, cook and have fun.
A glimpse into our lives: https://instagram.com/petraunau/ & https://instagram.com/rasmus.m/

I'm a calm and friendly person and get along with all kinds of people. (like all of us ;). No, but for real.

PHILOSOPHY

''Why think about that when all the golden land's ahead of you and all kinds of unforeseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you're alive to see?''

Jack Kerouac

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all over the world without traveling ourselves. We want to get new friends, learn about different cultures and stay with locals who can make our travel experiences richer.

Interests

Art in all of its forms. Urban culture. Music. Cats, dogs, animals. People and long conversations. Beautiful and new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Almost any genre - music is our passion. Petra loves dancing to electronic music and we go to a lot of gigs and festivals.

Blow-up, Lost in Translation, Professione: Reporter, Memories of Murder, Fargo, Yi Yi, Before Sunrise, Her, Spirited Away, Getting Home, About Schmidt, Sideways...

Poetic, observant and beautiful novels. Murakami for Rasmus.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not much (yet). The feeling of not having achieved much is a part of the Finnish modesty. Petra has done a bungee jump. Moving to Helsinki from a small town and chasing our dreams.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach my family's women's food recipes. My partner does photography (http://www.flickr.com/photos/rasmus_m/) and I do arts. We both want to learn about other cultures!
