I'm a friendly, fun-loving and chill woman from northern Finland. I am an avid lover of the north, winter, cold, polar night and everything that comes with it, but I do have my moments with the other seasons as well, especially when it means I get to go hiking and experience the nature in any way I can. I love tiny and big adventures, but I also have no trouble laying low and curling up with a good book, some wine and a chill playlist or just sitting down and talking about the human condition as the day turns into night and we all become a little less reserved on who we are and what we think.

At first glance I might seem a bit reserved but underneath there's a heart yearning to feel the adrenaline, to see mesmerizing landscapes and to find the tiny gems of each place I visit in form of nature spots, waterfalls, bookshops, mountain passes, beaches, cafés and museums. I also wish to provide a lovely experience to anyone who might be staying at my place for a night or two, sharing stories, moments and life in the authentic way it passes us by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been a member since 2015 but I haven't really utilized this community, but am now looking into hosting people. I have had the lovely opportunity to get to experience the warmth and hospitality of some couchsurfing hosts on my travels, and want to be able to provide something similar to the people who might be coming to explore northern Finland.
