ABOUT ME

Hi! I am Suvi, 24, from Helsinki, Finland. I recently graduated as a circus artist. Now exploring in Australia... :)

My love for traveling has this far taken me to California (and a few other states) where I lived a year as an exchange student 2005-2006, a fair bit around Europe, Thailand, and now Down Under.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't plan so much, I take it as it comes. I've felt if you only are open in moments, and give - you'll get so much. Treating others like you want to be treated, listening, being receptive(?), present and giving - and the good comes back at you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This far I've been lucky to meet great people by surfing on their couches and hanging out with them. In the future I would like to host others too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed a bit in Ireland, Netherlands, and Germany - pretty much great meetings only.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To have seen my nieces grow. That's amazing. And am not seeing it now, which is a pity, but at the same time, coming to the other side of the globe, to explore and try my wings on my own with my circus gear, feels lovely and amazing too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I can teach some circus skills. And Finnish....which isn't really useful unless you want to live in Finland. Which is not a bad idea necessarily though.
