Open-minded, kind and quite calm, with a twist of creative spontaneity :)

I like simplicity, experiencing, sharing and enjoying life.

I want to cultivate the good in myself and others. We are here to grow!

I am passionate about Nia and somatic movement. I believe moving and listening to our bodies is the way to well-being, healing and joy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, to share, to learn.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Usually I'm interested in movies that are something else than Hollywood. Movies that are touching, beautiful, interesting in one way or another. That give us something more than just enterntainment.

Music: I listen and like many music styles, but I would say that rock in many forms has been closest to my heart. I like going to gigs and I love the feeling of experiencing something unique with others on the gig. Some bands: Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Beatles... But I do listen a lot of Finnish music.

Books: I love books but I'm a slow reader. I like poetry a lot. I'm interested in literature but I know almost nothing about it :) A love the poetry of Eeva Kilpi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
