Hi! I’m from Taiwan and currently studying for my master’s degree in Finland. I enjoy playing the piano, reading novels, staying active, and spending time with friends. Couchsurfing has given me so many amazing memories, and I’m excited to keep meeting new people and creating meaningful experiences. I’m generally easy-going, kind, and respectful. I can be a bit introverted when I first meet new people—so if I’m quiet at the beginning, I’m probably just taking time to adapt. Most of the time, I’m a good listener and love meaningful conversations once I feel comfortable. I don’t have many rules—just try to be responsible, considerate, and open-minded. Looking forward to sharing stories, laughs, and good moments with fellow travelers :)

Update August 2025: I will start taking couch requests again in September or October. I like to host surfers! I have hosted a lot of lovely people. Update February 2025: I have recently moved to a nice and spacious house of my own. Guests get a private room. It’s warm and very quiet in the house. Unless you want to listen to my CD’s loud on my great speakers. A couple of times I have had longer breaks in hosting because I have been too busy. Now I want to start doing it again! I often go to excellent public saunas. If you are interested, let’s go together to an extremely nice and authentic sauna either by the sea or by the nearby heart-shaped lake, Littoistenjärvi. The experience includes swimming in the lake or in the sea, which are of course ice-cold in wintertime. Even in summertime many of my guests have said the water is cold, but that’s by their standards, which differ from Finnish standards! In summertime the nearby sauna even offers a pool of very cold water, because many Finns are addicted to dipping to cold water or even staying there for a few minutes! This particular sauna, which is close, is almost like a theme park with a few different saunas and warm pools, also barbecue, and everything just for 11 euros. There is another sauna on the nature-protected island of Ruissalo, where I actually go more often. It’s more peaceful there and the best sauna is there! But probably you won’t notice much difference. These are subtle differences. You can choose which sauna we go to, if we go. I won’t be disappointed if you have other plans than experiencing those saunas with me. I’ll be happy if I can just offer you a place to stay. My house is in the district of Littoinen, 6 km east from Turku center. Unfortunately the relevant bus stops are 1 km away. But I’ll be happy to pick you up from the bus stop. Or, depending on my schedule, perhaps even closer to where you are in Turku. In case I happen to have time for it, I may be able to show you some of this city. I love Turku very much. I also know the best restaurants, those that are affordable. There’s one Michelin star restaurant in Turku, too, but I have always passed it by because I prefer eating 20 good meals in a good restaurant for the price of one menu package there. Of course if you like you can offer me a meal there! That would be a new experience to me. On the other hand, in case you wish to save on food like I do, I can direct you to certain nice supermarkets that have an evening sale each day on selected products at 60 % off price. I have very much tried (but not succeeded) to live in a healthy way, including rawfood, berries, herbs, fermenting, and other stuff like that. I just don't seem to manage to live in a super healthy way like that. I often feel busy since I want to do more things than I'm capable of. But I always enjoy hosting couchsurfers, as you can read from my references. Most of my income comes from driving charter buses and local buses. Most times I do it part-time, and there are weeks that I don’t work much. Besides that I do spiritual healing and bodywork treatments, which I feel is more important. The treatments are very unique and include chanting. I feel I channel the treatments from healers in the spirit world. In case I happen to have time and you are interested I can do such a treatment to you. And I won’t ask money from my guests for the treatments of course. I also have a piece of land in an ecovillage, or an intentional community of more than 50 people, in Livonsaari, 35 km west from Turku. I lived there from 2012 to 2019. I'm doing some voluntary work for the administration of that community, mostly legal matters. I visit there maybe once a month at the most, so it's unlikely that I would have time to take my surfers there. But I can tell you facts about the place in case you are interested in such communities.

Hello fellow travelers!👋 I am originally from the Philippines but now working and living in Finland for more than 5 years now as a practical nurse. Suomi is my second homeland and quite the contrast of my home country but I’m enjoying and living it to the fullest. I always try to keep an open mind, learn new things, be more understanding and accepting of things, about myself, and of others. I’m a polite traveler. I enjoy the outdooors and up for experiencing new things. I travel from time to time, whenever and wherever I can. I drink alcoholic beverages occasionally but I don’t smoke. Feel free to read my references. You’ll get to know me more when I get the chance to meet you, too. IG: @adz.fotografia, @adz.ventures
