I have been living in Finland now for 7 years with my partner and our two children, aged 4 and 6. We are living in a peaceful countryside farm, our family is the 4th generation running the farm.
We are in to organic gardening, perma-culture, collecting berries, mushrooms and other gifts from the nature around us.
We live without running water and are heating with wood only.
Our children are home-schooled and we are part of finnish homeschooling-network. We strongly believe in the natural learning ability of children.
We enjoy doing music and to be creative in various ways.
Also natural healing and inner work, co-counseling, enneagram and other ways of exploring our true selfs are one major focus in our lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been travelling/hitchhiking several years in my life, and been happy so many times for a place to stay and the oportunity to connect with new people.
Now I am happy to offer a place for others and to meet other free spirits.
