Overview
About Me
Life is a soup and I am a fork.
What I also am:
- travelling around the globe with almost 0 budget, trying to rely to the world and see if it takes care of me or kicks me in the stomach
- a cat person
- (in the future) a special teacher for special children
- peace envoy
- open-minded
- joyful and talkative
- kinda queer
- food lover: if you offer me a meal or learn me how to cook your favourite food, I'll be forever thankful
- interested in languages, culture, art, music, nature and people's personal stories
- happy to answer all your questions
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
There are many reasons. My top 3:
1) When travelling, I don't want to feel like a tourist but to see how the life of locals really is
2) I am interested in people (don't get me wrong: it's okay not to hang out, and I won't take a lot of space so I am easy to forget if you so want)
3) I am travelling the globe with as little money as possible, so Couchsurfing is a part of that ideology.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'll tell three. I have...
... survived in St. Petersburg with my bad Russian
... fallen in love successfully
... seen a "revontulikruunu" which is this rare ring-like shape of aurora borealis
Teach, Learn, Share
I have some good stories but most importantly, I can and want to listen. I also sing and play piano so if you are into music we can jam.
I'm most eager to learn so please let's bild a house, go hiking, try something new!
