ABOUT ME

Hi,

I'm 21 years old girl from Finland. I'm from tiny tiny town, but my urge to explore the world is huge! I'm working as an au pair in the usa right now and it has been interesting and life changing. I have been living near Boston for the last 11 months, one more month to go as an Au Pair and then 4 weeks of freedom and travelling before im shipped home to Finland! You can imagine how much i'm looking forward to some adventure, open minds and freedom! So anyway i live on east coast and I have explored a lot of it already. I've seen Florida, New York, Canada, Louisiana, texas, Tennesee, South Carolina etc. so west coast here I come!! My goal for travelling month is WEST COAST, LA, San fransico, Las vegas, San Diego etc.

The thing is that I just wanna take my backpack and go for it. I'm not fan of those 5 stars hotels and organized group packages. I want to meet up new people, get to know them and have good conversations.I wanna learn different cultures and share things about my culture and show people how crazy we finns can be. Finland is pretty small country in up north Europe, so most of the people dont know much about it, so it's always nice to tell more about my country!

PHILOSOPHY

Interests

Hard question, I would have a huge list for you !! Good movies, books, my best friends, my family etc.

how can you keep your life exciting and enjoy it every second? Well the answer for me would be that when I experince new things and get known new people, i feel this real excitment. Of course you have those season, when you have to work and earn money, but every time you get that point you have enough money to travel somewhere, it's something new-everytime. You get these mixed feelings while your tarvels: happiness, stress, tireness etc. and all of those feelings are unforgettable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Manhattan. I love the big apple!

For example I was standing in the central park and just enjoying the moment and just breath the air while my friends were taking pictures like crazy. I love the moments when time stops and you are there in that moment enjoying your life and nothing could be better. I don't get those feeling that offen, but when I do, it's totally worth it!
