CURRENT MISSION

Expand the limits of my field of vision

ABOUT ME

Cheerful and a touch crazy :D That says it all!
When travelling or showing around I rarely get upset or tired, being in the state of travelling somewhat amuses me, it's my passion.
I love reading and have read a pile of the classical books (mostly Russian and Finnish). If I find a suitable group, wouldn't mind to participate in a book club.
I love history, enjoy architecture, especially that of Art Noveau style. I am a tourist guide and sometimes one can feel it too much when I am showing around... But don't worry, I never ask the same standards from those showing me around: just a one cool place with a nice view per visit is enough :)
I take photos. They are as they are, not great nor professional, they just reflect my somewhat romantic view of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a way too rational person in the day-to-day life, that's why while travelling I look for breaking that routine and go with the flow.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Went to visit my cousin in Budapest and met some CouchSurfers, decided to look more into the whole project. Since then have been in a weekly meeting, posted on forums and showed some people around Helsinki.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The jungle - it's mesmerizing. A recent experience: caught in a heavy rain in the middle of Seurasaari with three Polish girls from CS - it was cool, a bit scary and relaxing at the same time.
