About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a 25-year-old young woman who is interested in traveling, people, art and creativity. As perhaps you might see in my profile picture, I have a small wheelchair and I am 80 cm - (short). Even though I have the so-called constraints, they haven’t been obstacles to travel. In some situations like the Paris Metro (where there are no lifts), just need a moment to think about how to get 3-floors deep underground .. Luckily, I had friends with me, which had strong biceps! I have traveled all over the world, Europe, America, and once visited in Thailand. And because I'm so small, I don't take much couch space;) Once, we traveled in Portugal, I slept the night in the camper on the parcel shelf: D

I believe that anything is possible when we give opportunities for things to happen, when we have an open mind, when we seize the moment and enjoy each present moment.

I love to travel and make adventures to new places, they get to feel that I'm really alive! At the same time, I find moments of joy and happiness when I am at home on a rainy evening candlelight and drink tea or making some small meditation exercises. I really enjoy also spending time in a cute little cafe’s in Helsinki, delicious coffee drinking, following the others around me, and for example writing a poem in the same time, is something very empowering and inspiring.

At the moment, still studying, and I hope to graduate in December, the Waldorf school as a class teacher. I make a living in addition to laughter yoga, life coaching and I give lectures about positive attitude, our beliefs, body-mind connection, living life of dreams.. A few years ago I wrote and drew two children's books and writing, poetry and painting hobbies are dear to me, too.

Connection with nature, pure and healthy nutrition, exercise - especially swimming and contact improvisation, spirituality, well-being, joy, laughter, and spending time together with my friends are important things for me as well…

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem and Laugh every day!

To see local people, and get to hear the breakfast table some amazing stories, makes me really feeling that I have a real connection to a new country, culture and those wonderful people that I’ve met.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, movies and books regarding I'm very open mind and spontaneous. I have a lot friends who are singers on play some instrument so I am definitely their fan! I like to go some music festifals and also some little concerts.

In addition, sometimes I have had together with my friends, music improvisation evenings, where everyone is able to bring the desired player and the evening was full of marvelous musical journeys.

At the moment, I read most of Rudolf Steiner's educational philosophy books, but mostly I love also life and self-education related books. The Secret, Paulo Coelho's books, Osho and Caroline Myss spiritual teachings and Tove Jansson's Moomin comic books are favourite ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two years ago, I traveled by train with my two friends in 5 and half weeks across Europe. It has been perhaps one of my life biggest adventures!

Teach, Learn, Share

Because I am a life coach, laughter yoga coach and graduate soon as to be a teacher, I can teach a lot of things about life to you… :D I think that sharing all good things to each other is the best gift what we can give.

In the future, I would like to work, teach and give lectures in English. Small talk and ordinary everyday conversations to succeed me well, but I would like to get more vocabulary and confidence my English language skills. You who come to surf my couch could be a good teacher and just discussing in English help me with this dream!
