Ok, guys, I wanted to leave option that I MAY be able to host people at our home, but this is getting pretty crazy.
I have received many requests with: I would like to do something fun with you, or, I would like to spend time with you..
That I feel like I have to say: I am not up for dates. I am not a single girl searching dates in here so please don´t send me date like emails.. sorry.. rest of you please keep reading:

I am Finnish Opera Singer/ Hypno therapist ( I actually Graduate as therapist on summer 2016) and I love travelling.
I like good food in good company, and I love cooking.
My idea of great evening is fun people around, great wine and amazing people with fun stories and experiences to share, or sometimes I go out just to dance!

Fleemarkets, and secondhand shops are my favourite places to shop, it is like treasure hunting to me, when I find old teapot from Italy that matches with plates I found from London!
I love antique, it is never out of trend and old furniture or little antique pieces have always story to tell.
I am non smoker, drink wine only with food really, singing keeps me living relatively healthy lifestyle and late nights at clubs are not my thing at all.
I prefer good nights in around the table in fun company.

I am junkie what comes to museums and art, and I like getting to know new people, and seeing local life. I treasure my experiences at holidays or everyday life and try to create everyday life as magical as one can.

Unfortunately I have several allergies, which means No Cats or other animals in my life even that I would love them so much.
Dogs with curly hair I tend to tolerate better, as they are so called allergy free dogs. We have little poodle living with us. She is kind, and very welcoming little soul who tend to win everyone on her side.
I suffer from celiac which means I can´t eat wheat. I write it out here only to avoid silly situations where I found out people have been cooking something amazing and I can´t even taste due to allergies..

Other wise I am very open to everything!

I am avid gardener, my little garden is roof terass one, and it is our extended living room at summer time.
I am originally country girl so I need to dip my fingers in soil ones in a while to feel home.

I enjoy painting and just had my last art exhibition ending in Helsinki on April. I paint big print like surfaces of flowers and also quite modern stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know new people, see things that only locals know and get to share experiences! I love finding secret locations and sharing them with people.

Interests

Food, wine, art, musems, fun surprising places and people, and of course shopping at local secondhand shops, if I end up finding something fun.

My home is important to me, and I try to create it our oasis, with old design, antique fabrics and things that I buy and fix my self from secondhand shops. I love to create atmosphere which is timeless and interesting with little details that are memories of trips, people I have met and places I have seen.
(Last time brought home tiny plants in reclosable plastic bag to start tiny garden under Victorian glass dome... Hahaa call me crazy but it was so far best souvenir I have figured out!!)
Always ready for new adventure!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost all kind of music.
Dark heavy metal does not rock my boat but other than that I am pretty open.
Music is my mood so I tend to reflect different taste depending on weather or what is happening in my life.
One thing is pretty sure, I don't listen classical music ever at home if I don't do it for work. I have to listen something totally different to switch off from work and after all... Classical music is best when experienced live!

I tend to like to read books that are based in real people, life happenings and history.
Last book I read was about life in 1700's Helsinki, and before that I read about Victorian living.

Favourite movie? Must be one made of Frida Kahlo. It was visually so amazing.
There are many wonderful movies but that one was beautiful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed on top of a mountain, swam in hole in the ice in winter in -24c. I think life it self is pretty amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn to cook local food, so I have learned lot of nice things while living and travelling abroad.
Cooking food with someone is nice way to get to know people and their cultures.
I can share my local knowledge about places in Finland, especially in Helsinki and Karelia and London. (And Lucca in Italy.. And Austria Vorlarlberg where I lived too...)
