About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To think and learn...as well as to have fun

ABOUT ME

I'm an extremely honest person, and I love thinking. I value integrity and intelligence. At the moment I'm studying maths because I really love it! However, I also like travelling and have a little bit of international experience: I've lived most of my life in Finland, then completed IB there (so I can speak English very well) and moved to Bath, UK, to study mathematics at Bath University. I like meeting new people from other cultures and seeing new countries. I immensely enjoy seeing new beautiful landscapes or buildings. I also like hiking and spending time in the wilderness and at the beach.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have any "great", "overarching" personal philosophy. I do think about philosophy, though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I'm just a newbie. I'm hoping to travel a little and see new people. Perhaps later, when I feel comfortable about it and have time, I can try being a host, too. Only time will tell.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2 so far. Both have been great experiences. Maybe I should always travel like this (couchsurfing)...

Interests

Mathematics, science, travelling & sightseeing, delicious food (current favourite: Chicken Tikka), beautiful landscapes, hiking, movies, science fiction novels.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies (and tv-series): Star Wars movies, Andromeda (tv-series), SG1 (tv-series), Books: A Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked the Samaria gorge in Crete from Omalos to the coast AND back the same day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share (if you are able to benefit from these and are interested): some curious fact about mathematics or how to make a simple program in java, my experiences in Finland and Bath, instructions on how to make a simple but delicious chicken Tikka sandwhich.

I'd like to learn: a little bit of local language (like Italian or French, depending on where I'm travelling)

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Russian Federation, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Vatican City State
