About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get my Ph.D. projects going and enjoy what is given

ABOUT ME

I like to travel and meet new and interesting people all around the world. I enjoy weird situations, something to laugh over in the future and I have had many of those - starting with losing my passport and ending with sleeping in a waste bag outside in the rain.
I guess I like to hear people tell their life experiences. To enjoy them as my own as building new collective memories. I think that by communicating with different people and with one another we grow a lot more and absorb life more than one could do on its own.
In any case if I could tell you something about me that would explain me some things as well...
:)

PHILOSOPHY

carpe diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

right now mostly by hosting and surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted Jimmii from South Korea and I really enjoyed the experience. We had some parties here and she met my friends and we also went to a club called von Krahl. But since I had to work a lot, I couldn't really show her around town. We did so, but only at nights. Which sometimes is actually my favorite time of the hole day :) Anyway everything was really good and I hope to have her here again :p

Interests

Sports, books, MUSIC, guitar playing, parties with cool and interesting people (not so much clubbing actually unless there is good music), sightseeing, new and interesting people... rivers, mountains, clouds, dark nights, sentences said at the right moment at the right time

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing the boarder by crawling on my knees and behind other people because I lost my passport in Sweden. At that time I was nine years old and no Schengen between Finland and Estonia.
