About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To carry out my endless list of "Things I want do before I die"

ABOUT ME

The main reason why I work and save money is to travel more. Although, it's an endless road because I don't think my obsession with traveling will ever end. But does it have to?? I guess we all know the answer..! :)

Now I live in Helsinki but I have lived in New York, Berlin and Avellino, Italy. I have traveled a lot (although I haven't done Couchsurfing as much as I would have wanted to) and love meeting local people and trying new things (the randomer the better).

PHILOSOPHY

I hate regretting things.. that's why I try to avoid that by always at least trying!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, I can't host anyone, as my apartment is too small and my everyday schedule is pretty busy, but I try to use Couchsurfing in other ways and when I travel :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a couple of times in Finland, and I've been hosted in London years ago. I'm still meeting up with my first host regularly, we became good friends. My mission is to do more Couchsurfing in the future :)

Interests

I love...
...all kinds of design and arts (packaging design, photography, graphic design, product design, fashion,movies, animation, painting, drawing, sculpting..etc)..
...urban culture in all it's forms
...cooking (all types of food)
...music! I couldn't live with out it.. I love to listen to it and dance to it!
...everything that makes your adrenaline go up (skydiving, roller coasters, bungee jumping..etc
...board games :)
