@JESSU
Member since 2009
We are a small community of 6-8 grown-ups, one teenager, one 3-year old and quite many plants living together and quite a lot of life around. We have a small forest and a big garden and a spare sleeping-space. We enjoy our everyday life a lot humaning, sometimes eating together in the garden (when the Finnish weather grants us), having great discussions on what ever topics, walking barefooted (mainly me), practicing relaxing into the unperfect perfection and re-learning all kinds of things we thought we already learned. We smile, read bedtime stories and occasionally drink a glass of wine or two. We are all quite good at climbing trees and leikki, which is kind of playing with a slight but very meaningfull twist to it. I am a community and adventure educator (bachelor's of humanities), mainly doing design-things. I enjoy turning things (especially myself) upside down, finding new points of view and enjoying daily dada's. I usually have all kinds of small projects at hand and find myself a few more before I get to finish the ones I already started. I enjoy ideas and figuring things out and doing things with my hands. I dance in the morning and write random stuff in the evening. I've also written poetry on bananas. This is (mainly) our common profile, though Jani also has his own (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/jani.kaya).

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I've managed to grow a 7-year old human and avocado tree from seed.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd like to learn most things. It's hard to say what I might share, but some things I feel I know something about are: .problem solving (with random solutions) .small diy-projects (plants, crafts, origami, cards, drawing, random shit out of random stuff) .writing by hand .organizing and doing charts and lists and graphs .building experiental workshops .touch
My Interests
I'm interested in almost anything, because everything is connected to so many other things and you never know where the next piece of the puzzle might drop up. Or whole new puzzles. I'd like to be able to change the order of those.
