Forests are the places where I feel at home the most, and mountains are something that I always admire and want to see when traveling. You see: in Finland we have a lot of forests but no mountains. ;) Nature means so much to me that I can't even describe. After all, that's the wonderful thing about nature: you can't describe it. You just have to feel it, experience it. And there's everything you need.

I love to challenge myself and see where the limits are. Mostly they are just inside our heads. I still think we don't have to make our lives hard on purpose, life is quite simple when you let it be.

I'm studying environmental science in the university of Helsinki. I see that as my mission in life, to do my little part to save the world.

I love yoga and dancing, those are amazing ways to really get into your body and experience every moment as it is. I love exploring what is inside me - and also what is outside me, this world is such an endless playground and wonder!

I'm vegetarian, mostly vegan, but I don't despise anyone because of their diet, so don't stress about that. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing makes travelling so much more interesting. I would have missed many awesome places and people without couchsurfing. It's amazing to meet local people, see their ways of living, their habits, their living rooms... haha. It's such an eye-opener and teacher of the diversity of the ways we can live on this Earth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living this life

Teach, Learn, Share

It's amazing to hear different stories and different perspectives, but also to find a common ground despite of differences. I'm always ready to learn more about this world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you Finnish language, of course. I can also show you how to cook (usually improvising a lot) vegetarian food. I can teach you some yoga asanas or meditation techniques. Note that we have two dogs and one cat. ❤
