CURRENT MISSION

Don't let the Muggles get you down

ABOUT ME

Finnish cliché: blonde hair, blue eyes.

Outgoing, silly, noisy, traveller, interested, unable to sit still, not good at making a decision fast (not even when I should pick what wine or how many apples to buy), santa's elf, tourism student & nearly graduated (panic!)

PHILOSOPHY

The mind is like a parachute - it doesn't work unless it's open

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By being a hopeless wanderer and a vivid dreamer. Surfing when it's possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have met maybe 4-5 hosts in different countries and had zero bad experiences! This might be the greatest invention ever.

Maybe that's why I chose to write my Bachelor's thesis about CS.

Interests

I studied tourism in a university in Finland and I during the time I lived in France, Belgium and Holland. I guess there's no need telling that I love travelling and everything that comes with it! I'm very interested in meeting people around the universe - getting to know them and learn about their cultures & lives. I can speak a few different languages but I'm eager to learn more; now I really have to pick up my courage to improve what I've learnt. And what could be better way to do all that than CouchSurfing?

Besides that, music in any form is also a very important thing to me as well as sports like snowboarding (well, I'm from up North anyway haha), running, yoga and taking (stupid) pictures. While living abroad, I miss my piano, family, sister's dog, fresh (tap) water, sauna & mid-summer. Otherwise, I tend to spend my life abroad and love it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Northern Lights. Seeing my family on Skype while living abroad. Learning to swear in French. Love. Ice skating on a frozen lake. Going to a sauna and then roll in the snow. Tequila.
