About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To save the world of course! :)

ABOUT ME

I heard about CouchSurfing last year from my good friend Nelli, who introduced me to the hard-to-describe world of CS Dublin parties! ;D
After being her loyal guest for 7 months, I FINALLY registered myself, though unfortunately I'm not in a position to provide a couch for anyone at this time.

I come from Lappeenranta, Finland, and took a year off from studying by being an au pair. I had the time of my life, thanks to CS Dublin among other things! But now I'm back in Finland to study in Helsinki university!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm seriously interested in the state of the world we live in, and believe we are all responsible for taking care of our environment. I plan on getting the best possible education to be able to make a difference in these matters, and try to live as ecologically as my purse and situation allows me to. I'm very aware I'm not perfect or anything, but I'm working on it and so should you ;)

However, you shouldn't get scared and think I'm some kind of a...I don't know, whatever negative someone might think of a person interested in environmental issues. I'm all normal (..? hahah..) and not in the business of preaching or telling anyone how to live their own life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My life is super-busy at the moment, but maybe some time I'll get around to a CS Helsinki group party :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ireland is my first and only couch surfing experience, but it was an unbelievably rich one! All the great parties and couch surfing in Dublin and a little in Cork too... Hopefully I'll find some action in Finland aswell, the Dublin parties were a definite highlight of my time there!
