About Me

ABOUT ME

I am calm, happy, easy going girl with many difficulties in the past now. I love slow, peaceful living without stress. I definitely don't like winters without snow! Adventurous, traveller.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

July 2007 I hitch-hiked in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria. The plan was to do it with my friend, but she took it back. So, I made the decision to do it all alone. It might have been the best decision I've ever done :) When I travel alone, it's waaayy easier to start talking to new people. People I met during the July - both on CS and on the way - were the absolutely best part of my summer 2007! Thanx for all of you ;D

15.9.2014 I started my Spain journey by couchsurfing in Musti's home in Fuengirola. I supposed to stay there for a while, but after all I lived in his home for 8 months. Very positive experience!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Transportation sailing at the Mediterranean.

Living in a 25m yatch called Shenanigans on the waters of the Mediterranean close to Saint Tropez, France, 2-3 months in summer 2006.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know something about life, but always want to learn more! I've Hitch-hiked in and outside of Finland about 7 000 km. Many things - both good and bad - has happened to me during the last 15 years. I could say that many people does not have the history like I have, not even close... But it is the story I will tell you if we'll meet :)
