About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Lately I've been mostly into singing and playing guitar, forest walks, camping, picking berries, biking and natural movement and finding my small steps to make positive change.

Adventures around (Europe at the moment, going back to Finland once in a while) with not too specific plans, to meet all kinds of living beings, to share stories and inspiration and knowledge!
I wish to visit lots of forests, communities, centers, squats, mountains, Rainbow gatherings and places and mindsets unfamiliar to me, open to experience something out of my normal bubble. I'm using mostly hitchhiking, dragons, camping and couchsurfing.

The mission itself is being creative and loving, and inspire and be inspired.

ABOUT ME

I really don't know how to describe my character by myself with other definitions than that I try to see empathy and beauty everywhere, and that I explore myself, whatever that is, and the world with a huge curiosity. I like to sing and dance and talk as much as I like to be still and silent. I specialize in improvising most of the things I do.

I want to study/learn more about biology and different philosophies and consciousness and photography and languages and arts and writing and many other things, travel with a purpose, live in different cultures and countries, confuse people doing street theatre, make new friends in every continent and climb mountains. I like to let my inner child run free and do crazy and silly and adventurous things, and also cherish the moments with deep conversations and meditation. Embracing the balance in everything, chaos and peace and all in between. Laughing is one of the best things in universe, the second best are being in nature and biking (while laughing). I love doing random things you didn't know you would do five minutes before you decided to do them (=adventures).

I'm very interested in communal way of living, how to live with friends and strangers-to-be-friends and family in one house/neighborhood, and how to make positive impact on the society and environment. Some day soon I want to live a while in a self-sufficient community and then get a house myself in the nature without metrolines and busy citylife.
During my travels, I would love to get to know to other people living in different communities/squats/other ways of people living together.

PHILOSOPHY

All different, all equal.

I wish to be a peace maker and make people happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my travels and everyday life, I love to share experiences, things, knowledge, thoughts and worlds with people from around every place! Meeting people through CS is a great way to get to see around the places more than just the spots where all the pretty postcard pictures are taken from. Traveling is mostly about the people for me.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am staying few of months in Helsinki for a chance, and I can host you if I happen to be home! I'd be also happy to hang around with you in Helsinki and nearby areas if I'm around, to show you around here, this amazing place I call home,or at least give you some local tips!

I've had many amazing couchsurfing experiences, official and unofficial. I've hosted people through different networks, and wish to do it more when I have a place to host! I've been hosted many amazing times through CS and was always amazed by the hospitality of fellow humans.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music tends to be the one that comes up while jamming with people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled with awesome Rainbow caravan in Europe for several weeks, with around 15 hippies in one truck! Amazing moments.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with Finnish and English language, share my knowledge about hitchhiking and traveling with small amount of money/no money, teach some improv theatre stuff.

I wish to learn more Spanish and French and also other languages! I'd love to know more how to do practical stuff like building a house or gardening, I'm more than happy to help with those kind of things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can arrange some silly improv theatre practise, and cook awesome vegetarian/vegan food! Sharing stories and talking about everything, or being quiet and meditating together. I like rock climbing and will be happy to come with you to do that or maybe go hiking or biking. I love jamming with all kinds of musical instruments. Now travelling with my recently-bought quitar and learning to play it.
