About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep entertained, make a bunch of new friends, speak foreign languages and learn new things

ABOUT ME

I am a passionate traveller and language student, I love to meet people from different cultures and backgrounds! I am torn between loving my home region above anything else in the world, but often feeling more at home elsewhere in the world.

I love the outdoors, and would like to go abseiling, cayaking, snowboarding, snorkelling, etc. in all four corners of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Treat people the way you would like them to treat you. Don't let first impressions determine the way you look at people, always give a second chance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently living abroad and have no possibility to put up travellers, but I hope to visit a few people in the coming months. As soon as I get resettled in Finland, I want to extend some hospitality and meet new interesting people and I am more than happy to have people stay in my home.

Interests

Outdoors, music & gigs (jazz, blues, indie, D&B, etc...), environmental issues, development cooperation, winter sports, cooking (preferably hot&spicy!), red wine.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pulp Fiction, Monty Python, Kill Bills, Slumdog Millionaire, Amelie, Elling, and other feel-good films. Not a great fan of romantic comedies and other chic flics or horror films....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Small things are the best: enjoying a slice of pizza in the sunshine on a small piazza in Venice, while listening to opera singing from a nearby studio, with no sounds of cars within miles....

Meeting new people and realizing that you have surprisingly much in common and becoming friends instantly.
