CURRENT MISSION

Right now I´m staying in Utsjoki Lapland. I still have one month here before I head my way to southern Finland. Most of my days I spend drawing, reading, writing and walking with snowshoes:))

ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as an optimistic, extrovert and spontaneous person. I´m enjoying this ride we call life, making decisions according my own will and living without long term plans. I find it more delightful to try to live with the rules of a moment:)
In my poems and drawings I reflect the things I see and feel. Art in its numerous forms is great part of my life and I find it as a bridge between people.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like a box of chocolate? Someday u start eating and one day u finish :D
I find this life as a ride. This is somewhat like a theater and we are the actors. Life is eternal but me, my body it is just borrowed and it wont last forever.
I´m doing my best to live my life as I want without doing harm to others. Learning new things and understanding other people, those things I find important in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time I couchsurfed in Holland, cannot remember the year but it was in Rotterdam during North Sea Jazz festival.
After that my experiences have taken place in Russia, China and Nepal. All of the people I´ve met through couchsurfing have been amazing! I wish that some day soon I´ll have an apartment of my own and I can pay back all the generosity I´ve received from my hosts <3

Interests

At the moment I´m very interested in beatnik literature. I´m reading a book of Jack Kerouac and looking forward to
get to know other remarkable persons of beat generation! Not any other form of poetry or writing has ever gave me as much pleasure as beatnik. Somehow I get this feeling that I can do anything, only my problem is where to start:)
