Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed four times and hosted four times, and all of these experiences have been great. I have made good friends with some of the couch surfers and we have had superb time exploring Berlin and Gothenburg together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Berlin without having any plan. Just left Finland because I was bored there and fed up with my studies. Haven't regretted my choice once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn languages and keep my language skills updated (some of them have grown really rusty, for example French and Spanish!), so I would be more than pleased to do some language tandem with you! I can teach you Finnish, Swedish and German, and I'm into learn any new language.

I love animals and I am an owner of two cats, Koda and Rex. I am interested in animal rights and can watch kitty videos and talk about animals for hours.

I would love to hear about your travels and share some traveling tips! I'm constantly planning the next trip and I'm always looking for new ideas about where to go and what to do there.
