Overview
About Me
I'm always eager to learn new things, im mostly positive - unless I haven't had time to drink coffee in the morning and eat a proper breakfast- and I love nature and arts. I have done studies in three different fields,
1. social work,
2. African research,
3. Fine arts.
I've been quite overwhelmed about all this, taking into account that I started a new school in three Autumns in a row. Now 2019 I'm more settled down than in the past few years. I've come to realise, that my desires lay in all this three fields, and even more. And that it's OK to try new things, fail, and try again. Right now I spend half of my weeks in nursing home as an activity director. My work is to do arts and fun activities with our senior residents. I feel like I'm right there where I should be in this point of my life, and that's quite amazing feeling :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING
While I've traveled, I've met such amazing hosts and people. People who have completely opened their hearts, their homes, shared their toughts and dreams with me. After this kind of kindness and solidarity I've come across I want to treat others as I've been treated.
Interests
Wandering in the forests
Wandering in museums
Wandering simply in all places - just the other day I got picked up from train trackside by three finnish police men...they told me I had slowed down the whole Helsinki commuter train traffic. Well, that was just a very silly thing to do from me. But at the same time it was quite funny incident.
