I'm 25 years old and from a small city called Järvenpää.

In August 2022 me and my partner Pete sold everything we owned, gave up our apartment and started our lives as nomads. We travelled in Thailand and Vietnam for 4 months and then headed Down Under.

Now we're in Melbourne, looking for work and a camper van to live in. We’ll be travelling and working around Australia for 2-3 years! (We might stay forever tho ;)

Would looove to meet people around, have a beer, hear tips, find working places, travel together and stay at your couch!

CISVer!
I was an exchange student in Uruguay (YFU), so I speak semi-fluent spanish

I write a blog! Check it out: https://travel-thoughts.com
and find us on social media: @pudijuli and Pete @boheemi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and I think the best way to get to know any city is to meet with the locals.

And of course I try to travel as much as possible with as little money as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Uruguay for a year is the hardest and scariest thing I have ever done. And travelling alone around India for 3 months was one of the most amazing things!

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a Bachelor of Hospitality with WSET3 certificate and almost 10 years of experience in restaurant business.

Pete has been working for the Finnish alcohol monopoly Alko for the last 6 years. He's also a musician and a graduated audio engineer.

So, I mean, we know A LOT about wines!

But don’t worry, we’re not party animals, but wine enthusiasts!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Finnish culture and some salty liquorice shots!
