About Me

Globe trotter with positive attitude to live. From a country of lakes and Santa Claus. Having spontaneous mind and cannot stay still, that's why I'm moving almost every half a year and been living in 4 different countries and 4 different cities in Finland. At the moment traveling solo in Sounteast Asia and later finishing travels in USA with best friend of mine, then total over 3 months of travels.

I'm bachelor of business administration, graduated year ago and since then been working with mostly in sales, customer service and communication. Later looking for doing my master abroad, but now having gap year or two, will see :-)

In the future going to live abroad again, at least somewhere in Europe, New Zealand and Canada are on my list. When I was 18 I already tried my wings living in USA as a nanny, didn't work out so well and went back home after 2 months. In 2013-2014 lived in Australia and worked there. 2015 lived 8 months in Holland and studied there. 2016 I traveled for 2 months and now 2017 over 3 months and rest of the year I don't know yet :p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in couchsurfing to meet up with new people and learn new cultures. I either travel solo or with one of my friend, so it's really important for me to catch up with locals, learn their manners and in exchange I can teach them my culture. Traveling solo, and especially this moment in south east Asia, I've realized not many people have met Finnish travelers. People I meet through here, I really want to teach them about my country and once being back home, also offer them a place to stay.

Interests

Really love traveling, learn and see new cultures. Artistic person who loves to paint and draw, especially people. Sport also got a big part of my life. Like to cycle and run, and join to different kind of fitness classes. Always into new things, for example traveling now I've started with diving, done lot of hiking, extreme and water sports.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Always spontaneously deciding and doing things, easy to talk to do things. For example I'm bit of scared highs and especially cliff jumping, but today jumped highest 15 meters!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My crazy language and our weird habits, I bet you really haven't met that many Finns, so I would be one of the first! :p I like to drink wine and talk about everything, so you'd also have nice company while my stay.
