PLEASE DON'T SEND FRIEND REQUESTS IF YOU DON'T PLAN ON TRAVELLING (in that case, send me a message with the dates and plans, pls)! I'M NOT LOOKING FOR PENPALS HERE!

ABOUT ME

I live with my 18 year old son in the countryside (Jeppo/Jepua)- closest town is "Nykarleby/Uusikaarlepyy". I mainly work as a language teacher (Swe and Fi for immigrants).
There are not many busses here, so preferably you need your own car or bike. The closest railway station is: "Pietarsaari-Pedersöre" (about 35 kms away).

We have a big house, a dog and a cat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Me and son visited Denmark (Randböldal) in June 2012. We had such a good experience and I think we will continue keeping in touch with the family. It was the first time I couchsurfed myself. I don't think I'll have the opportunity to do it so often, but will definitely try it out again! I still hope people will find their way to us meanwhile :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many of my travels have been amazing, Sri Lanka, South Africa and Peru being a few countries that have left a deep impression. Loved to study in Sheffield one winter (1992), and attend a language course in Granada, Spain (03). On another level my first encounter with reiki was mindblowing and helped me make a lot of changes in my life, which maybe lead to the most amazing event: becoming a mother at the age of 42!
