Hello u all! :) ★Hei★Tjena★привет★Dziendobry★Bonjour★Hallo★Ciao★Kalimera★Namaste★Hola★Ola★Konnichiwa★Ni hao★

My name is Iida and I am from Finland. I grew up in a small village which is in the East-Finland but now I live in the capital city Helsinki. So both countryside and city life is part of me. At the moment, I am working in an amusement park for the Summer. In addition, I have done volunteering in Poland, studied music and theology in the university.

I have had pleasure to get to know many beatiful people around the Finland and the world. Every time it broadens my horizons, makes me more open-minded and I learn something new! That is why one of my dreams is to visit every continent in the world 🌍

At the moment, I am interested to live vegan, zero-waste and eco-friendly life. That is why I mostly eat vegan food and make sustainable consumption choices whenever possible. If you have any tips to this, please share them with me and you can just come to discuss this with me even without tips :) !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Here I have a possibility to meet lots of different kind of people around the globe. I think in the end we all are the same inside but everybody has its' own stories, backgrounds, cultures, languages, skills, thoughts, and values to share. I want to learn more about myself, sdifferent cultures and languages, have memorable experiences and life-long friends regardless of the gender, language and culture :)

Interests
