About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest, meet new people, be happy and be myself!

ABOUT ME

I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine.

-- Caskie Stinnett

Travelling is one of the greatest passions in my life and I hope to keep at it for the rest of my life! I have just returned back to Finland after spending past seven years in London. It is good to be back, at least for a while :)
I am currently still looking for a place to stay and crashing at a friends, so I can't host at this time, but I'd be happy to hang out.

PHILOSOPHY


The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page.

-- Saint Augustine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only hosted once so far as my life got a bit busy in London, but hoping to start hosting here in Helsinki and couchsurfing in the future again as my experience has been positive.

Few other things you might want to know about me:

I love music, movies, books and my friends.

I will hopefully be a science geek by the end of the year- I will then continue to do my Masters degree at Helsinki University. In Ecology and evolutionary biology.

I am gay. And happy to show the Helsinki gay scene to others as well. :)
