ABOUT ME

I'm a 27-year-old girl from the Finnish Lapland. I study Art History at the University of Helsinki. I work as a gallery assistant in a contemporary art gallery in Helsinki. I'm a bit of a workaholic and I take my job very seriously. But when I'm off from work, I'm easygoing and cheerful! People have also described me as an outspoken person.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking together with people. I would love to learn to cook local dishes in the travel destinations, but I can also teach my hosts how to prepare Finnish food.

I'm great company to go to museums with! I'm interested in history and art, and I'm always up for conversations on these topics.
