Hi! I am a Psychology Student in the University of Glasgow, Scotland, but I am originally from Helsinki, Finland. I am a fun-loving and positive person, who loves meeting new people and visiting new places. Travelling is so important to me, and I feel like going crazy if I don't get to travel every few months. Currently I have been visiting and enjoying many places in Europe (Alps, London..) but I have a special connection with South-East Asia and its culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couch surfing, because I have heard many positive experiences from people! I am beginning to take some journeys by myself, and I don't want to be alone in a new country, I want to make friends! Also I hope that staying with locals would help me get a deeper look into the culture of the countries that I visit.

Sadly I cannot currently host anyone, because I am a student and I simply do not have the space or the resources to accept guests. I hope that this will change soon, as I love having guests and being a host!

Interests

A lot of my life revolves around food. Cooking, baking and eating food. I follow a vegan diet, but that doesn't mean that what I eat is boring or unsatisfying in any way! If we meet, I will definitely take you to a vegan restaurant/ cook a vegan meal for us to share :)

I am also really interested in nutrition and leading a healthy lifestyle, and I am constantly researching to try and figure out what is actually healthy and what is not . When you look into things a bit deeper you can find out things you would never have imagined! So interesting!

I also do pole dancing and it has become such an important aspect in my life. If you are a part of the pole dancing community please send me a message if we are going to be in the same city, maybe we can work something out and go pole dancing together!

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately I have really been enjoying listening to techno and house music. If you are also interested, I would love to go out partying together! I also enjoy more relaxed music (indie, pop, jazz) when I am at home. I have to admit, that sometimes I also enjoy jamming out to some Taylor Swift :P

I love romantic, cheesy movies. Don't worry, I won't make you watch them with me! I also love watching documentaries about food, psychology or just random interesting facts. Some of the best documentaries that I recommend on the topic of food and ethics are Conspiracy, Forks over Knives and Food Inc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a month backpacking through Vietnam with my boyfriend. One time we were driving from one city to another on a moped, and we stopped at a beach to rest and enjoy the view of the sea at night. When we returned to our moped we noticed that the keys were missing! Losing your moped keys at a dark beach is one of those things that you hope to only experience once in your lifetime :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I, as a visitor, can share with you is my endless love for vegan food and cooking! I hope that even if you are a meat-eater, you will not turn your nose up to lovely fresh and healthy food :) I can cook you a meal, or even share some knowledge about leading a healthy lifestyle! I have also been taught never to enter a house without gifts, so if you host me you should expect to receive some sweets or treats as a thank you!
