About Me

I continuously wonder about life and people. I dream of fellowship, breathtaking experiences and places, the moments when realizing that THIS is exactly what I have dreamed of all my life. Those silly moments with silly people on the train with me. I like to start a conversation with strangers in weird situations. Confusing people. It's not all that serious, really. Laughter is an international language. Juggling in a train station, dancing in the streets, climbing to forbidden roofs are best things to do in city. Also I love forests, I want to find the highest solid rock and lie there listening, smelling, watching.

Seems like every spring I go into a hypomania because of sudden increase of light. It's nothing to worry, but the bipolar essence of me is very noticable between the seasons. Spring is my favourite! And birds! And mushrooms in autumn.

I love animals. I was volunteering in an animal sanctuary and started my mornings by giving a massage to wild boar. Also animals love me. I have one orange cat and that's all I need for happiness. Inside me lives an animal/environment/immigration activist and yeah, I don't eat meat.

Atm I'm living with my Venezuelan-Syrian rockstar spouse in Helsinki and studying to become a social pedagog. What the future will bring - we don't know but hopefully more adventures and amazing people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to travel and meet local people who can show me things from their
perspective and share their knowledge with me. I also love to show Helsinki from a bit different perspective. Showing my own city to someone, makes me feel like I'm travelling myself and that's the best feeling you can get. Looking everything with new eyes.

Atm unfortunately my life is so busy and hectic, I don't really have time to host or meet people. If you anyway think that we would be a perfect match, send me a message! There is always space in our circus practice and multicultural friends group.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Smoked a joint in United Arab Emirates.

Well nothing amazing there maybe, but I thought if there is a place on earth you cannot find weed or hippies, this is the place. Turns out I was wrong, and thank god I was.. haha

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach juggling and knitting socks or mittens. I'm interested to learn about music and (vegetarian) cooking.
