Just trying to be present. Flowing and navigating through all kinds of waves of life.

I don't need to travel far to enjoy myself. If I remember to stay still, I find beauty in my surroundings: in light, colors, shapes, noises and voices and all kinds of materials. Sometimes I'm just amused by my own thoughts and feelings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a bit adventurous spirit. I like to meet new people and hear new stories. It feeds my curiosity.

Interests

I like silence, music and deep conversations. I relax when I'm in nature, being just by myself or with people who are genuine in the way they are. I love to dance, just freely or dark fusion bellydance. All kinds of creative endeavors spark my heart, like writing, painting and taking photos. Sometimes I might also enjoy playing board and card games.

Oh, and I sing and play the guitar. That's so obvious that I easily forget to mention it. I've specialiced in writing spell songs, which is an old Finnish tradition. However, my musical roots come from singing in rock and metal bands.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly I listen to some meditative background music. Besides of that, my playlist consists of folkish stuff, some pop, progressive metal and rock. Some of my favorite bands are Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Auri, Eye of Melian, Leah, Pain of Salvation, Blackmore's Night and Loreena McKennitt.

In books and movies I usually prefer fantasy over reality. I guess that I must mention Harry Potter here. :)

One of my favorite books is The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. The movie version of the book has one really appealing scene, where the Childlike Empress asks Bastian: "Why don't you do what you dream?" That question has inspired me for years to pursue what I really want in my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm living this life, right here. Isn't it amazing?

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot of NLP (neurolingvistic programming) tricks and exercises and I'm willing to share and try them out with you. They may change your life. :)

I like to cook together. My specialities are healthy AND delicious foods (yep, it's possible!) without glutein, dairy products and loads of sugar. I know how to smoothie and love to make raw chocolate and cakes.

If there's one thing I'm always open for, it's a karaoke night!
