About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and learn without any regrets.

ABOUT ME

I'm an introvert perfectionist, vegan, cat-lover and a tattooed bookworm. Travelling to a new country is great but home is where my heart is. Sometimes I might seem a bit shy but often cover it with random chit-chat and what feels like endless babbling. I'm a pretty open person and sometimes might blurt out silly things, were they personal stuff or not, but don't be alarmed! I don't regret pretty much anything in my life, since all the things I've been through have made me the person I am today.

PHILOSOPHY

Tabula rasa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've done some hosting so far and I really enjoy it. Meeting with new people, learning about new cultures, talking different languages and seeing new things through CS is what I'm enjoying most!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have gathered some couch surfing experience, and so far I'm loving it. Have hosted people at my place already a few times, but surfing someone's couch I've yet to experience.

Interests

Reading and tattoos are the two topics I could keep on talking and talking! Same goes with cats, video games, languages, being vegan, cooking movies (especially horror) and overall just getting to know another person.

Music, Movies, and Books

I live for books. Everything from great literature classics to chiclit and horror to mystery to biographies. My favourite authors are Chuck Palahniuk, Joe Hill, Neil Gaiman and Laura Honkasalo.

I'm into different kinds of music but lately I've been enjoying Finnish metal and rap music the most.

I watch a lot of movies. Horror mainly. Zombies and silly shark films are the ones I enjoy the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had a pint of Guinness in Dublin. Saw the leaning bell-tower of Pisa. Every couch surfer I've hosted has been a blessing, they have been amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you like, I can try to teach you some basics of Finnish or perhaps you'd like to learn how to cook a vegetarian/vegan meal, knit some mittens or try your hand in cross-stiching? I've lived in Harjavalta only for two months now so I really don't know much of the place yet, but hey, we could go for a walk and get to know the place together! I'm also into Geocaching and fleamarkets, so you're welcome to join me. :) In return I'd love to learn about your culture, share a glass of wine with you and hear lots of different, interesting things about you and your country!
