About Me

I'm studying journalism in Helsinki, Finland. From turn of the year I'll be traveling in Colombia and Ecuador before my student exchange in Lima, Peru in March.

I like to travel slowly and get to know to new cities and places. I practise parkour and bouldering, so I also love to explore cities in a bit different way, by finding ways to move in different environments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking forward to meeting open minded people and learn about their ways of living. I'd love to meet people while doing something fun like bouldering, parkour, hiking, billiards or to chat by some drinks.

Interests

Parkour, bouldering, urban exploring, Latin American culture, nature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bought a one way ticket to Colombia from Finland. Although there's an exchange in Peru in the horizon which somewhat lessens the effect of the act. But anyway, really looking forward to traveling in Colombia without ready made plans and itineraries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some basics about parkour, buildering and billiards. Also some Finnish language and culture if anyone is interested :)
I like to do all kinds of sports and I'm looking forward to play sports like football, tennis, badminton, ping pong, basketball, snooker or billiards or to hike in the wild.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some Finnish treats and a bottle of wine
