Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Hosting, experiencing, discovering friendships and peace! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Had a great Interrail trip through many Balkan countries and surfed some couches there, too! Have had some fab guests in Turku, as well. You're welcome, too!
Music, Movies, and Books
I prefer thoughtprovoking, "slow" movies instead of those with action and explosions. When it comes to music, every kind of it has it's own moments, but if I had to name a band, I especially like The Beatles. Update in 2019: if I had to loop one album for the rest of my life, it would be the soundtrack of Demain by Fredrika Stahl! Usually I read what others recommend, so feel free to give me a tip! :) Some favourites: Riad Sattouf's 'Arabe du futur', Yaa Gyasi's 'Homecoming', Michael Ende's 'Momo', Dalton Trumbo's 'Johnny Got His Gun', and all Politkovskaya articles/essays.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
A two-pound courgette. I gave it water and saw it grow!
Teach, Learn, Share
Languages I cannot know many enough. Getting a taste of lifestyles, visions and opinions is what interests me. I can teach you bake a lovely apple pie and read you poems.
What I Can Share With Hosts
All my cooking skills (not much, but decent!) and long, complex jokes. If you want to learn Finnish or Hungarian, that can be arranged too, but I cannot recommend it...
My Interests
Sports (ball games & dance), food, culture. Learning languages is one of my passions as well. Science, complex answers to the trickiest questions.
