I have been on CS for a longer time already, both hosting in Helsinki and surfing abroad. I have studied and worked with environmental education. I'm a friendly person who enjoys beautiful everyday moments and meeting you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people and having good conversations as well as learn about other cultures and lifestyles. So far it's been very rewarding and a lot of great experiences.

Interests

I like spending time in the outdoors: hiking, cycling, canoeing, enjoying the sunsets... I also very much enjoy art, live music, reading good books, drinking tea and good coffee and having good long conversations, playing boardgames, cooking and eating ;) And learning new languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

Whether it's a fake or not, it gives a great new perspective to modern western lifestyle. The Peace Book by Bernard Benson is probably the most touching and influencing one I've ever read - would truly recommed it too if you want to get some more reason for believing in the good in this world. What comes to humour, the Hitch-Hiker's guide to the Galaxy is my absolute all-time favourite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experincing the amazingly colourful, decorative and magical Esala Perahera (the festival of the tooth) parade in Kandy, Sri Lanka.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can accompany you to a trip to my favourite places in and around Helsinki, mostly by the nature near the sea or forests or go hiking together.
I'd love to learn to cook your favourite recipe and/or eat something traditional to your country, hear about your favourite travel destinations / places in the world, learn new games and get some music, book and movie recommendations to check out.
