I'm 30 years old, living in Helsinki, Finland. I have just finished a degree in art pedagogy, and currently searching for a community close to nature, to connect with new people, to learn and share, and get back to the basic elements. It has been a long period of life living in the city, and many times I have had the urge to change place. Now finally I feel it’s the right time for that! At home, Helsinki, I do print making, painting, and drawing. Im also interested about somatics and different bodily practices, and this is something I hope to discover and have time in the becoming months. Community way of living is important for me, and I have been always living in shared households. I love cooking together, biking, camping in the forest, bathing in sauna, swimming, dancing… In the becoming months I wish to live simple life, work and connect with new people, and reconnect with the natural creativity that flows happily in all of us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was an active member on Couchsurfing between the years 2012-2017. I used to travel and also hosted many people in my home in Helsinki. I have amazing memories and some friends that I got through Couchsurfing, that I’m still in touch with.
Later I had some life changes, I have not really been traveling.
Now I’m back in couchsurfing, since I decided to travel to Portugal for this autumn, and hoping to meet and connect with new wonderful people again💕

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think in general its amazing to end up doing things you were not intended to do, idling around and letting it to get you somewhere :-) Being bored is a great source for creative activities!

Teach, Learn, Share

When Im in a good balance with myself, I have a deep groundind effect to others. I tend to take it easy, exploring the little things around us. Lets go for a little journey together!

As a fine artist background, Im always happy to share some knowledge on that field, or make some sketches together! Usually I travel with a notebook and some paints and pens.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking - and eating! So I would be happy to cook meals and learn new recepies. For the last year I have worked in an organic coffee shop/roastery, learning to prepare some raw foods and bake some banana bread…
I enjoy being around animals, so I can do some pet sitting if needed. I also enjoy gardening, and would like to learn more about.

What else… Im a good swimmer, I can teach some basics of swimming technique🌊🌊🌊
