CURRENT MISSION

learn to whistle

I am terribly addicted to coffee. As long as I get my daily caffeine dose, I am a pretty nice person. I laugh and talk a lot but also like to listen what other people have to say. I can eat huge amounts of cheese.
I hate driving a car, mushrooms, the moments when you know it's the last time you're gonna see someone but no one says it out loud, bigotry and and scary elevators, but love many other things in life.

Originally from Finland, I've lived in Ireland, Canada, and for the past six years in London and now Edinburgh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met beautiful personalities and received amazing generosity while couchsurfing, and I've also been able to offer a place to crash a few times, which has been a really nice experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few couches in Canada, in the States, and Scotland.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a bungee jump even though I was scared to death.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can explain how Finnish language works (it's weird), and I maybe teach you some yoga too. And give some good tips for books to read!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really like to cook for people and I'm not too bad at it!
