*Cannot host at the moment but can give you tips on Helsinki*

I am a young entrepreneur building a social travel service with my team in Helsinki. My schedules are spontaneous so if you stay with me be ready to be independent (or join me to see how my daily life is)!

Helsinki is as its best when you spend more than just one full day here, so I would advice you to save at least 3 nights for your time here. You need to give this city time to reveal its secrets and when you do, you will love it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe living like locals is the only way to travel. This idea has carried me away to start a company connecting local homes with travellers in emerging countries.
