About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find a way back home.

ABOUT ME

All about me. Not Eve. Ha-ha.

The first thing a person notices when they look at me is how tall I am - not that I'm even that tall: 193 cm.
Some have mistaken me for German, some for Australian and American. I'm not from any of those countries: I'm from Finland.

My love for films is one of the characteristics that defines me. A dream of mine is to make my own films. That is why I'm studying film production in the UK.

I like to think that I'm funny.

Maybe I'm not.

PHILOSOPHY

I think creating experiences and memories is one of the most important things in life. After all, once everything is said and done, memories and the times you've had is all you have left.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing and eventing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've CouchSurfed a few times and all I can say is that it has been amazing. The people here are the one of the nicest I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. They know all kinds of things and are happy to share what they have. It feels like whenever one CouchSurfs, a new friend is gained.

Interests

Traveling, music, reading, writing, photography.

Yet, if I'd have to choose one interest above all the others, there's a clear winner: films.

  • writing
  • photography
  • movies
  • reading
  • traveling
  • music
  • surfing
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm just going to list my #1 favourite in each of these categories. It would be far too difficult to answer any other way.If I would have to choose one film, it would have to be Star Wars. By that I mean the old trilogy. D'uh.Books: Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. It's close to my heart and a important part of my childhood.Music: U2. The sound and style simply gets me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Mexico. That country is like a dream. So much to see and do.
When I was in Teotihuacan, suddenly a twister appeared. It went through me and continued its journey.

Hitch-hiked across Portugal.

***

Probably the best thing I've seen – at least one of the best – is aurora borealis (the Northern lights). I woke up one day in Vantaa, which is in Southern Finland, and there it was, illuminating the entire sky with bright fluorescent colours: yellow, red, blue, green. It was breathtaking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach people Finnish, a language that only a fraction of people know. WARNING: it's one of the most difficult languages of the world.

I have a curious mind, meaning I'd be open to learn just about anything.
