I am originally from Finland, currently living in San Diego. I have also lived in Texas, Sweden and Poland.

I love traveling and meeting new people and learning about their culture. I have lived in San Diego since October 2016 and don't know too many people here yet outside work and wouldn't mind meeting like minded people to go to the beach or hiking with or maybe just grabbing a drink :)

I am a bit of a health freak; I love to work out and try new healthy baking recipes. On my travels I like to stay active; hike, run and bike. I also love the great outdoors and spending time in the nature. Horseback riding was a hobby of mine for years when living in Finland and I wish to get into it again more regularly!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a form of travel that I've been interested in for a while now. Having studied, worked and lived in four countries myself I like meeting new interesting people from different cultures. I also like the idea of getting to know to a new city with a local.

Interests

Traveling, different cultures and languages. I also love nature and animals and animal welfare is important to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a travel memoir junkie and Elisabeth Eaves' Wanderlust is one of my favorite books.
