ABOUT ME
Hi!
I live in finnish countryside with my partner, 35 km from Pori. We have a little teenage gremlin here too; Cecilia,13 years old now.
We have always wanted to travel, but always it has been about money, or animals to take care of.
I love to observe nature and together with our little pack we find little miracles every day.
D.I.Y is our lifestyle, it´s fun to do or customize things that are unique and the best things in life are free. I myself love materials that nature offers and use recycled materials too. Flea markets are on our top 5 list too.
We are not really clubbing people, we prefer chatting and good music or just watching people and how the world works....but anything interesting as well as mind-opening goes.
We love nature and animals and are within Red Cross local group. We were fascinated when we heard from this couch surfing idea and how it supports tolerance as well as multiculturality and understandig each other.
I have quite sarcastic sense of humour and maybe I am too sensitive sometimes but I´d like to think I have a warm heart. Looking forward getting to know other couch surfers!
PHILOSOPHY
You can´t see the most important things with your eyes but with your heart.(Little Prince)
Memento vivere´
Try to live so I can look myself.
Pass on the good things, don´t recycle the bad ones.
Humanity and amnesty.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I had a new chance in my life when I found my partner. When i finally got my white cap. When the winter in Finland turns to spring and nature explodes bursting and coming all green with all new odours and sounds. I see little miracles every day. Now I´m looking for treasures with my pack. The power of love and friendship.
Icy Baltic Sea.
And now I have two little grandsons!
