About Me
CURRENT MISSION
'' L'homme se découvre quand il se mesure avec l'obstacle'' I can't translate it because it ruins it - if you know French, lucky you ;)
ABOUT ME
A Finnish-Belgian girl who was born in Germany, raised in Finland and has a magical connection to Australia. I used to be totally fascinated by the ocean and also wanted to become a marine biologist for some years until I realised that the mathematical ( math, chemistry, science in general) part of my brain didn't actually exist at all... I then decided I'd study anthropology but while living in Australia I realised I'd rather study communication... Result = Studying my third year of FRENCH (literature and culture) at the university in Turku and still trying to figure out how to combine languages, psychology,international relations, communication and other things so that I could get the dream-job that I would never hate!
I love people! In my opinion life wouldn't be anything without people :O I love the nature and animals but people are THE thing for me!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We had 3 groups of people stay with my roomies and myself in Turku and it was always really good :)I also hosted Johanna when I was on Reunion island.
I've been a guide for one day when I wasn't able to host.
Did couchsurfing twice on Mauritius and once in southern France. I can only say - fantastic! :)

Teach, Learn, Share
I'd be happy to teach you anything you want to learn from me... I would love to learn to SURF (in the ocean), to play the guitar, learn a bit of every language I have an encounter with and then I guess I just want to learn about life and people by being with them :)
