22yo solo-traveller from Finland! Currently taking a gap year from university to travel full time, planning to go around the world. Positive, outgoing and social person, always up to meet new people from new cultures! I’m very humorous person and love to laugh and smile.

I get along with everyone and I have a slow temper. Talking and listening is always the way to go!

I don’t smoke, use drugs or have a drinking problem. I’m clean and will always be open to help with housework etc. and help to share any expenses. I also have no allergies, if that is a concern!

I have a dog back home (whom I miss dearly), so I’m as pet friendly as a person can be!

My instagram is @eliaspakkanen, be free to contact me there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me couchsurfing is a way to especially meet local people and get to know the culture better. And of course I also need a place to sleep haha!

I love to watch horror movies, even though my girlfriend (whom I also miss dearly) never lets me.. therefore I’ve learned to like all kinds of movies, also the romantic ones..

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m very social person and fluent in english so keeping up a conversation is easy. I also respect your privacy, so I understand if you need quiet moments or peace to study/work etc. I can also help with housework and all the stuff needed. Sadly I’m not the best cook, but always down to help and share the expenses!
