ABOUT ME

Me. the most important thing about me is that I love life and everything about it. Sure, there are rough patches but that's what makes life real. Right now I'm at a young, rambunctious stage of my life where I want to discover the world and in turn - discover myself as well. My interests take a wide range of activities. I love to make art of any kind, cook, read, ride horses, run with dogs, spend time with friends and family and take deep breaths of fresh air after it has rained. I have a daily diet of laughter and joy with sprinkles of down-to-earth moments. oh and how could I forget, I LOVE meeting new people. that means you! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everything happens for a reason. That reason is different for everyone - some people call that reason God. I know it's out there and it impacts everything I do.
However, I am not powerless. I can change anything in my life as long as I put my mind to it.
Live, learn and love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am a beginner participant. I have recently joined to travel with a group of friends from Finland to Estonia to discover the city of Tallinn. When I return home after my exchange I hope to participate by giving other people the same opportunities as I have received from the generous people on this site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any couch surfing experiences per se yet. But I have participated in many exchanges with students from Japan, France and the province of Quebec. I have gone to those places to stay with a host family and their child has in turn come to stay with mine. All were very memorable expereinces.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music that moves my soul.
I love movies that make me dream.
I love books that give me the knowledge and courage to make those dreams come true.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen simple acts of kindness. They were so simple but so beautiful in their simplicity that they moved my heart forever. A woman in Finland met some Italians that were visiting friends. She sang Santa Lucia to them to make them feel more welcome. Tears almost came to my eyes when I heard them join in. It was a song sung from one heart to another.

Teach, Learn, Share

Question everything! And don't forget to stop and smell the flowers once in awhile.
