CURRENT MISSION Central America starting in January 2013! Check out our video www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4eyRW7qLYE ABOUT ME Hi! My name is Tiina and I am a social and laid-back travelholic. When not travelling I am constantly planning my next trip. My to do list is full of destinations needed to be explored. Also I am trying to fulfil my duties as a student in the University and luckily the finish line is shining brightly. In the university I am studying comparative religions and world politics. I love hanging out with friends but also being at home doing absolutely nothing.
Interested in Animals
Interested in Dining out
Fluent in English
Learning Arabic (Egypt)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I do have a big couch and a quite large apartment but since my next year is wide open I can’t say when I will be home to host. It is likely that from January to September 2013 I will be abroad but after that I will upload my profile if I am able to host couchsurfers. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I am a couchsurfing virgin. In the next couple months I am going to lose it.
Music, Movies, and Books
When it comes to movies everything else goes but horror movies. I am paranoid enough :D There may be a day when I want to watch a psychological thriller and another day romantic sob movie is what I need. What you will find in my mp3 player are mostly reggae, reggaeton, melodic rap, hip hop, classic rock, blues and jazz. I don’t read books if they are not related to travelling or if they are not compulsory course books. I would like to read but somehow I don’t find time to do that.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I think I did the craziest thing when I was 21 years old. I packed my packs and headed to Tanzania for one month alone. It was also my first time in Sub-Saharan Africa and first time I was travelling alone. In Tanzania the most amazing thing was to see wild animals in the Serengeti. Also the Dharavi slum in Mumbai was quite spectacular.
My Interests
Everything related to ethnic food, travelling, good reality tv, global development issues, movies and cultures. Especially Latin culture in every form is very fascinating to me.
