PLEASE read the "MY HOME"-section before sending me a request. i mostly, unfortunately, cannot host but sometimes there are periods when an extra room is free where it can be possible. last minute-requests are best because i will not be able to know weeks in advance. if it says "accepting guests" this means short notice-requests only as i am unable to plan far ahead.

CURRENT MISSION

working and enjoying where i am
i have relocated to helsinki after years of living in scotland. trying to find a place.

ABOUT ME

i am interested in many things; in art before and after it comes into being. i long to form meaningful connections with people.

i love walking,

talking and being quiet!

i enjoy reading and writing texts, sitting in pubs.

very much enjoy travelling. it can be intense. wish to host when I get the chance, when i find a proper flat here in helsinki.

everything feels open now, i am at a stage of transition.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have met many good friends through cs. i can't imagine ever leaving this community ( edit. except I can, it is getting awfully corporate. I am also on BeWelcome now, catch me there! sandytraveller). y'all are my family !

Interests

i am an artist and am interested in what envelopes us, interested in books and writing, long, personal conversations, moments of positive hysteria, moments of tranquility, anything rare.

meeting soul sisters/brothers from every corner of the world. the best thing!

Music, Movies, and Books

i read a lot of both fiction and non-fiction.

i like singing, with or without friends.
i have quite an eclectic taste in music and hate band lists. like some bad songs as well as good songs.

i enjoy watching documentaries and films. like short films with floating thoughts.

if i seem vague in my profile: let's meet in person! i don't find it easy or helpful to keep in my head at all times what kind of this or that i like, so converting my life or tastes into lists is not my strong point :-) things come up in conversation.

Teach, Learn, Share

i want to learn as much as i can. guitar tutoring is always welcome!

and teach whatever i can. i don't know what i can teach, depends on the person, we'll find out. any of the languages i speak if you dont speak them, for example. but you never know what you can teach someone until you meet them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

i am good wine-drinking company and good at washing dishes. i can also cook something simple, though cooking in other people's kitchens can make me feel a bit uncomfortable. this is probably because i am not a great cook. but something i should get over.
