About Me

CURRENT MISSION

" You must find yourself where you already are. "
ABOUT ME

My friends would probably say that I´m a lovely person and passionate about the things I care. I have a well tuned sense of humour. Open-minded, artistic, creative, good with words and often quite witty. My friends appreciate my knowledge about films, music, literature, languages, visual arts and bio sciences.

PHILOSOPHY

" Happiness is the gap between what we want and what we have."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When me and my friend were in the U.S west coast we did some couchsurfing.

Interests

First I have to say science, and biology and environmental science above all. Science and this world we live in never fails to fascinate me. I´m a nature person. Nature and animals have always been an important part of my life. The culture that we humans have created is also overwhelmingly wonderful. I enjoy photographing, listening to music, painting, dancing hip hop and most of all reading books. I have a great passion for travelling and experiencing new environments. I get along with people easily and I like very much to meet new people. I think the essential point of life is to spend it with the ones you love and do meaningful things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 19 I backed my bag and bought a one-way ticket to Scotland. I ended up staying there for three months and worked on a boat. It was the first time I lived abroad and was a superexciting time.

Teach, Learn, Share

Photographing, drawing, some languages, how to get along with horses and Finnish people. I love dancing hip hop and other street dances, so I could teach some dance moves.
