I'm on a mission to activate myself in the Couchsurfing community. I'm a Helsinki city girl but love travelling. Particularty passionate about Africa and Latin America! Hola to the Spanish speakers - I wanna practice.

I've stayed with some Couchsurfers before through friends' profiles and hosted on Airbnb. Now I'd like to move over to CS. I only have room to host occasionally but I'm also happy to just meet up with some interesting people visiting Helsinki.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna be a part of this exclusive club! They say it's great.

Also, I'm building a startup with similar ideology but focus on emerging markets. So I'm kinda also spying. Check out www.duaratravels.com. (Facebook: Duara, Instagram @duaratravels).

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie for chill, electronic for getting ready, alternative RnB for emotional moments and hiphop when I feel like a gangster. Dance floors call for Latin vibes and African beats!
