About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest really, see different countries, taste yucky food, drink exciting wines and just meet interesting people on the way

ABOUT ME

I'm very out-going and social, I love to meet new people. I love sitting down with a glass of red wine and having a good conversation. I go out a lot and I promise to take you out with me if u come to Helsinki. My two cats are the most precious things to me and if u come to stay with me I hope u love cats too. My dream is to become a screen writer but I feel like I'm still too young to worry about the future. I believe that I need to experience the world first so I can then write the best movies.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm open-minded and I believe that people shouldn't regret the things we have done, but to regret the things we haven't done yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a few people for coffee or drinks and had nothing but great experiences!

I'm going to South-East Asia and Australia and New Zealand in December 2009 and hope to surf there more :)

Did some surfing in Melbourne and experience was just awesome.

Interests

I love to watch movies, good ones and bad ones, depending on my mood. I'd love to be a screen writer some day but right now I'm too busy making other things to actually complete that dream. I like to hang out with friends and meet new people, especially people with similar interests. I love to learn new things and I feel like there is a million things waiting for me to learn. Music is close to my heart, but I don't really like just one kind of music. Anything from Audioslave to Him or Mozart is cool. I wanna see the world and maybe someday be able to help the ones who are not as fortuned as we who live in western countries. Top three places where I want to travel to are South America, Australia/New Zealand and India.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies, so this list would get too long if I laid out all my favorites. I also love TV-shows, because at their best they can be like a good movie that goes on and on. Some of my favorites are High Fidelity, Volver, Motorcycle diaries, Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge, The Departed, Kill Bill, Schindler's List, American History X, Love Actually, Wedding crashers and everything else by Vince Vaughn, The Pianist, The Jacket, The Game, Clockwork Orange, Braveheart, Crash, Tim Burton's movies, Finding Neverland, Mystic River, Snatch, Rear window, just to mention a few. Then the TV-shows, I'm obsessed with 24 as well as Lost and Prison Break. I also love reading, and I used to read a lot but nowadays I don't have as much time. Some of my favorites are Populäärimusiikkia Vittulajänkältä, The Unknown soldier, Angels&Demons, Angela's ashes, Harry Potter, etc. When it comes to books I can read just about anything. Music: I love Audioslave and Chris Cornell, also Guns'n'roses, Matchbox 20, HIM, Jack Johnson, Damien Rice, Live, Maija Vilkkumaa, Robbie Williams, etc.
