About Me

!! American hosts. If there is a problem with CS message system (if I do not respond in a day I most likely did not get your message) you can find me on Facebook under the same name, or contact through text 937 707-3548!!

I'm all about traveling. I have never known home sickness, but I get a lot of wanderlust. I just want to visit all the places, the world is so cool!
I am an English (literature) student.

I'll be spending the summer in the States, but come September I can start hosting people here on Tampere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and I like helping people out, lending my couch to you is the least I can do. And hey, if I get to sleep on your couch as well then even better. :) I'm also very interested in meeting new people in general, making new friends and learning about different cultures and different lifestyles.

I found this site few years back, but then I kind of forgot about it, but now I'm all ready and excited to get going and start both surfing and hosting for real!

I'm also interested in making friends and hanging out with people! So if you want a local to hang out with you while visiting, I'm all for that!

Interests

To put it briefly: everything! I love trying new things and I'm an adventurous soul. I wish to see all of the world and try all the crazy fun stuff out there. One day I want to climb the highest mountains and walk the most awesome paths out there. I also want to try sky diving, surfing, diving and practically everything.

Despite all this I also enjoy some quiet time at home, watching movies or reading books or just chilling with people I like.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like fantasy books a lot and my favourite books are the Magicians trilogy by Lev Grossman. I'm also writing my BA thesis for English literature on that.

Other than that Peter Pan has a special place in my heart and I am interested in all the retellings of it as well. Actually I am really interested in retellings in general, be it mythology or fairy tales or Shakespeare. Which leads me to some of my favourite movies such as She's the Man and 10 Things I Hate About You. Such great Shakespeare right there.

I also like action movies a lot, listen to all kinds of music and try to read all kinds of books. Recommendations are always welcome! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited Chernobyl, that was pretty cool! I love abandoned places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are willing to let me in your kitchen, I can probably bake you something that is at least 76% delicious!

Other than that I would love swapping stories.
