About Me

CURRENT MISSION

skip winter for a change

ABOUT ME

I'm open minded. I'm happy. I like travelling and expanding my horizons that way.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that goodness is to be found everywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to find new friends and see their different point of views!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met really nice people through couchsurfing and had moving experience of being hosted, on comfortable couches too!

Interests

I'm pretty laid-back. I like to hang around with people and enjoy day's small moments. I also like it when in the summer I can go to the park for hours with a good book or with friends. Every once in a while I have to escape from the city to the countryside or to the sea side. I also like to go out to listen and dance to good music or have long dinners.

Music, Movies, and Books

Magical mountain by Thomas Mann, books by W.G Sebald,and many many others.
My favourite movies are Lost in translation and Hitchcock films too. And 80's-90's teen movies like Pretty in Pink or Singles
Music: I like all kinds of music from soul and funk to reggae and rock. James Mason, Pearl Jam, Sharon Jones and all other old soul music etc..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in Norway's and Sweden's northern wilderness.

Diving with dolphins in Rangiroa.

I have seen some amazing things in Finland on the inhabited islands of the archipelago.

The spring 2009 I spent in Paris. That was very interesting time in my life. I met wonderful people and learned a lot.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Finnish songs by a group named Tehosekoitin, for example.
