When talking about me (Elina), you need to know just a few things to get the idea. I love writing, nature, people, cultures and, what a surprise, traveling. I'm adventurous and open, enthusiastic about new people and experiences and curious about the world around me. Very curious indeed! Let's meet and share a moment together, shall we?
Interested in Books & Literature
Interested in Hiking
Fluent in English
Fluent in Finnish
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
What is traveling without meeting new interesting people? Maybe ok (traveling usually meets the standards of "ok" pretty easily), but oh no, not great. Not as great as when the people are included. For me, that's the main point to couchsurf and to offer my couch to surf. Surely I can save some money at the same time and have a nice local perspective on surroundings, habits and sights of a city or country in question, but sharing some valuable moments with great people is still the finest idea of surfing from couch to couch.
Music, Movies, and Books
Could talk about these for hours!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
So many of them. I think amazing things lay all around us, everywhere. To find them does not necessarily require traveling far away from home.
Teach, Learn, Share
"Happiness exists only when shared."
What I Can Share With Hosts
Many interesting conversations, joyful moments and perhaps some Finnish chocolate.
My Interests
Movies, books, writing, hiking, post cards, ice cream, life, discussing, train trips, kayaking, photographing, people, cultures, and sooo many more things that we can talk about when we meet.
