About Me

I am a dance teacher, event organiser and freshman at Aalto University School of Business. I studied dance in Munich for three years and have been living in Finland since. I consider myself the kind of person who can rarely sit still and do nothing - my mind is constantly buzzing with new ideas, possibilities or things that are due :D Besides dance and music I enjoy silly humour, art and organising both physical things (like plants and candles on my window sill) and data (man, I love making well-compartmentalized lists ad notes).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m eager to meet people from around the world, both similar to and totally different from me, and listen to their stories and ideas. From the time in the school in Munich I have a lot of friends who are all scattered around Europe now. It´s little sad, because we can´t meet so often, but altogether wonderful, because I have somebody to catch up with, wherever I decide to go.

Interests

My interests are all connected and I am always looking for new ways to combine them.
Within dance I am into ballet, modern, jazz, house, hip hop, afro, waacking ... Oh, who am I kidding - really I am into EVERY style when it comes to movement.
