About Me

I'm 24 years old university student from Helsinki, Finland. Currently I'm studying at Aalto University, School of Science, having my major in Software Engineering. I did my exchange studies in 2014 - 2015 in Madrid, Spain. In Summer of 2015 I was working at Electronic Art's Madrid's office as a Localization Tester and Spring of 2016 as a software engineering intern at medium sized Chilean company in Santiago, Chile. Living with Spanish and Chilean people and getting really into their culture have taught me a lot

I have done couple of bigger trips by now - one in Southeast Asia, one in Eastern Europe and one through Chile, Bolivia and Peru. These trips really opened my eyes how lovely and friendly people can be.

I consider myself to be friendly, open minded and social who loves to meet new people and share experiences with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm eager to get to know new cultures, languages and especially people around the world. That's what travelling is about for me. You can be in the most beautiful places in the world, but if you don't have awesome people with you, it's not the same. The people makes the happiness for me. And that's what I have found in so many countries.

When I'm back home in Finland, I want to share my idea of what is to be Finnish for foreigners, show my favorite places and things to do.

The best way to travel is by getting familiar with locals!
