About Me

I start my fifth year of Pharmacy at the University of Helsinki. I'm very keen on sports such as partner dance, pilates, yoga and going to the gym. I also cycle almost everywhere, if the weather is somewhat tolerable. I love nature and enjoy walking in forests or parks and would like to go hiking on my future trips. I'm always up for new things and don't want to spend my life sitting at home. That's why for example I've done student exchanges both in Ireland and Germany.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems like a perfect opportunity to explore a new place in a genuine and economically friendly way. Meeting new people and getting to know the city from the inside instead of just being a tourist is so much more interesting! After staying with some locals I'm not interested in the typica style of traveling and staying in hostels etc. The opportunity to learn about different cultures and ways of life is highly inspiring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is a book and the ones who do not travel read only one page. Nowadays I've become more and more ecological in my thinking so that has cut down my travelling some. Hitchhiking is a thing that I want to get used to doing.
