ABOUT ME

I'm a kind traveler, I love to listen to stories and I seem to bring some light with me. Curious about life and it's all forms.

I like to drink coffee, dance contact improvisation and get to know people, cities and forests. I also like to be by myself, wonder around, write or draw.

PHILOSOPHY

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment - Rumi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Yes. Been to couches, hosted many people in and outside of this network.

I live in a big house in a community, and we usually have a place to sleep if someone asks. I love Moomin -books (it's a famous finnish thing). There's a family living in a big blue towerlike house, and they always have lot's of guests. One day they had so many people, that the mother of the family doesn't know where to put people to sleep - finally she makes beds for the smallest ones in the cupboard. Ah :)
