About Me

Hi! I'm a keen new traveller who started broadening their horizons outside Europe just this year!! Can't believe it took so long :D I study in Helsink, Finland but now I'm headed to exchange to the Netherlands for a half a year. The things that keep me busy are student politics, working in various companies, travelling and enjoying music in one way or another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I crave for authenticity. I've seen touristic destinations that ooze too much of western world ready to cater in your native language. That's understandable (since I study tourism) but not suited for me anymore.

My gut tells me I might spend some time in other parts of Europe as well during the spring but nothing is yet set in stone. When the dates are settled, I want to experience truly and immerse into a culture in a way that can only happen with locals and their insight on the place. I want to explore and go on adventures with likeminded people to see what's hidden in the most ordinary places :)
