Hi!
.........
I'm getting quite a lot of requests right now and try to put effort into answering them generally as much as I feel people putting effort into writing them.
.........

I'm a student and freelance worker in the fields of dance and circus arts living in the city center of Helsinki, Finland. Oftentimes typically Finnish - quiet and at least seemingly calm - but occasionally out-going as well, I am trying to balance my personal life with my academic studies.

My place is not a very big one and I don't have a spare room anymore, but I would be happy to offer a safe and comfortable place to spend a night and a cup of tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to be someone that traveled quite a lot for experiences (and still does for work and studies). A number of cold outdoor nights set aside, I was able to connect with some very warm and welcoming people on those trips!

I'd like to go on adventures again, but feel somewhat restricted to staying at my home town for the time being. Maybe hosting would turn out to be a way to meet new people from across the world while waiting for opportunities of my own.

I also am fond of learning languages and would appreciate opportunities to practice!

Interests

I'm interested in a number of things, including

- dance arts

- philosophy
- combat sports
- writing (academic & belles-lettres)
- a couch request from you starting with "morjens" just to see how many actually read this stuff. You'd be a pretty rare one.
- board games
- l'art du déplacement, la méthode naturelle & combat vital

Music, Movies, and Books

I loved the movie "Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran".

I pondered existential questions reading "'l'Étranger" by Albert Camus several times.

I fall every now and then into melancholy or cheer up singing certain Finnish folk songs.
