About Me

I strive to be a friendly, kind, open person, who is constantly improving and developing themselves.

I'm a bookworm and an enthusiastic learner. I love museums and historical sights, I consider it to be my duty to be constantly learning and educating myself but it's also great fun for me.

Apart from a few long-term periods abroad, I've been living my whole life on the Western coast of Finland. I however enjoy a life full of variety and perspective, and therefore I like to emerge myself in other languages and cultures as often as possible. Needless to say, traveling is something essential I have a need for, it's to get some "fresh air" outside of my home country once in a while.

I dream of going to Japan and Greece, swimming with whales, reading all the greatest books, speaking many languages fluently, and having a garden of my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to educate yourself about cultures, beliefs and habits that are different from yours. It also represents values I believe this world really needs: trust, kindness, being open-minded and willing to help others in need.
