About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the perfect place to unpack my suitcase and breath.

ABOUT ME

Studies, rugby, capoeira, beer, thinking, breathing. In no particular order of preference. Just simply things that I occupy myself with.
I'm Finnish, studying in The Netherlands. I enjoy my student life and love the studies I'm doing. I'm doing a Master's degree in Art and literature in Maastricht, The NL, where I already did a bachelor's degree in Media Culture. I'm constantly planning new adventures and keeping all the options open.
I play rugby and I love it. I have also been playing capoeira for 5 years now, I love it too. I seem to love many things but that is simply because I prefer doing things that I like than wasting my time on being miserable.
I like music and like to go to gigs, even if the bands turn out to be bad. I like museums, theaters, libraries, rivers, forests, bikes, sweet chili sauce...and many other things. But above all I like meeting new people from all walks of life. And a good night out in a town I have never been to before.
I'm a restless person, so I tend to travel a lot and I feel trapped if I'm not able to do that for a while. So basically I'm still looking for a place that I can call home. But I do feel lucky for having been able to do so much with my life already by the age of 24.

PHILOSOPHY

Every choice in life opens doors, where you end up depends on which one you choose to open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have friends who have been using CS for several years already, but I have never hosted anyone nor surfed myself. Occasionally I have joined my friends when they have people couch surfing at their place so I have met some brilliant people through it.
