CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life, travel a lot, meet new people and in the meanwhile graduate as a mathematics teacher

ABOUT ME

I am 23-years old exchange student From Finland. I enjoy Doing basically anything, especially if I haven't done it before. I am always up for anything and truly a positive person.

PHILOSOPHY

I think the base in my "philosophy" is to enjoy life, but I am ready to suffer to achieve goals I Really want to achieve. Although I am not religious at all, I like to think "do to other how you wish to be done to yourself" or something like that. It is hard to write about my thoughts. I do think a lot, sometimes even too much, but I don't think about my thoughts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have met few people through couch surfing, and also surfed once in Paris, which was a really nice experience. Now I have a couch of my own that I can offer to other couch surfers and that way meet new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't host anyone yet, but I have had the chance to surf once in Paris, and that was amazing. I also met few people via cs while on my exchange in Utrecht

Interests

I could list about everything here, but perhaps what I most enjoy doing will do. Sports are close to heart, especially team sports, but I have now taken a liking in capoiera, which combines dancing (which I love), acrobatics (which I would love to learn) and martial arts . I basically live of music, and my taste covers almost everything. I enjoy watching movies and series, but not as much alone as with company. If I am alone then I would probably prefer a book. As a mathematics student I can't say I wouldn't be interested in puzzles or problems, and also chess is very close to my heart. I do enjoy spending time at the computer, but always after a while I get a bad conscience, and I need to get out. Lately I have started to really like cooking also. My interest covers a lot more, but these few were the first ones to come in mind, and I didn't want to make this a novel

Music, Movies, and Books

For music and movies I really enjoy a huge variety, but in my opinion there is a time and a place (and a feeling) for each category. I like stupid comedies, but also sad drama "girl movies", war movies, cartoons, action, documents, and basically almost everything. When reading a book, I really like to choose one where I can dive into the world. This make usually fantasy books my favorite. The most recent ones I read was the Game of Thrones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The greatest memory I have is from an event in Iceland. I got to present Finland in Nordic championships of chess for below 20 years old.
