CURRENT MISSION

Living in the present planning ahead

ABOUT ME
Currently working in Lisbon, I am a relaxed person from Finland who is passionate about sports and encountering new people.
The past 15 years I have studied, worked and lived abroad - including Netherlands, UK and France.
Flexible and spontaneous.
I've met the people that most matter to me while traveling, and I think Couchsurfing is a great, simple way to learn more of new people and cultures.

Bonjour ! Je suis finlandais et j’ai travaillé en France depuis plusieurs années - Actuellement sur un projet de travail à Lisbonne, au Portugal.
Après avoir travaillé dans plusieurs pays - je profite bien discuter avec des personnes diverses, et rencontrer d'autres cultures.

Je suis un fan de sport, les livres et les randonnées.

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom to live your life as you wish and take responsibility for it.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The reason for my Couchsurfing is the interest to connect with the local community and its inhabitants and people in general - regardless of background, education or life situation. Also I think it is possibly a more genuine way for interesting tips and informed advice than simply staying in hotels.
Enjoy to widen my views.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have c-surfed three times, and hosted two times. Have joined multiple local meetups in Paris and Lisbon.

Интересы

I like sports, hiking, outdoor experiences but can also spend hours reading interesting books. Am curious about different people from different countries. I prefer not to host anybody that can't speak any language I speak (there should be plenty of options to choose :)

Музыка, кино и книги

Very varied repertoire of books and movies - I don't enjoy horror movies, though.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

- I once went to Egypt with a one way ticket only: it was a very liberating experience.
- My worst travel experience: Flying back from Peru to Amsterdam having caught a very nasty food poisoning the night before. As if that wasn't enough, the plane tried to land 3 times before being succesful in very foggy conditions to tank passengers at Caracas Airport. After that I avoided flying for a couple of years...
