CURRENT MISSION

To live, love learn, and grow..

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as a happy-go-lucky, warm, open and friendly person. Trying to stay postive and learn from all I do. I love meeting people and trying to understand them. What makes them tick. I also love to share, not only material objects but knowledge too, as most things in life are best shared.

PHILOSOPHY

“Why tell your grandkids you worked 9-5, five days a week for 40 years and quietly sat in traffic jams while people went to war, suffered disease and shot their own classmates? Tell them you refused to live in fear. Tell them you crossed the Amazon, saw the Lost Cities of Gold and met your soul mate in Casablanca. Travel to the ends of the earth. Go now and live adventures that will make your grandkids proud.” Care of traveljunkiejulia.com

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing when I travel and attending local meetings in Helsinki.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive had loads of fun with CS! Its been the basis of my friendship group in Helsinki where I now live. Weekly meetings are one of my favourite events.

I'm also still in touch with my first ever hosts up in northern Finland. Looking forward to more travel experiences in the future.

音乐、电影和书籍

I read extensively from novels to non-fiction. Currently Im in between the pages of Stephen Hawkings, 'A Brief History of Time' and Jack Kerouc's 'On the Road'.

I like a wide range of music, but tend to lean towards instrumental, folk and away from heavy metal/rock.

Movies, Ive never been a really big movie buff (and lets be honest, Im still not) but in the last 6 months Ive watched more movies than I have my entire life prior to that. I see a whole new world in film now. I like movies that create their own little world and that really suck you into it. Like Science of Sleep for example.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I watched a 13 year old autistic boy in remission from cancer sing Shannon Noll's 'What about me?' a capella infront of 100 people. There wasnt a dry eye in the house and never before had a Mark Holden-esque 'touch down' been so deserved.

教，学，和分享

I think we can learn from everyone we meet, although it is easier for me if they are happy, positive and open-minded and I can have a good discussion with them.
