I am 31 year old and I am from Finland. I have always liked to interact with people around the world and I used to be international tutor in my School of Applied Sciences. I also love to speak in English and I have used it daily for years now. I love and breed Shetland Sheepdogs so they are very important to me.

Also my family is quite international, my sister is married to a Pakistani man and has two kids. I was together with an half Italian / half Finnish man for many years so Italy has become my other home, especially Rome. I wish to learn the language better and meet more locals!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many kind of music from classical to pop, rock, country, sometimes even harder stuff like Nightwish. I love to discover new music around the world and I don't feel the need to understand the language as long as the song has a great sound. I listen a lot music from different countries, for example Italian, Greek, Romanian, Spanish music.

I like romantic movies but I also like to watch action movies and sometimes thrillers but almost never horror. My favourite movies/books are Harry Potters. I was a big fan as a kid and as a young adult.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've won Finnish Championships (ages 14-17) in agility with my dog Sofi who has now already passed away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Finnish language obviously haha. I also love to draw and paint but these days I have concentrated illustrating on computer. I would love to learn new languages and see new cultures. I have studied German, Spanish and Swedish but those I haven't have to use at all almost so I have forgotten them. Swedish is the only one of those I can still use but I struggle with it.

What I Can Share with Hosts
