Hello Everyone!
I am Kaija, a passionate sports management student living in Cologne.
I could do sports all day long without getting tired or bored of playing. But almost as much as I like sports I like to sit in a nice café drink a good coffee and just talk about life for ages.
Besides my coffee addiction I am an absolute nature lover. I can enjoy even the smallest sign of life. Just standing still for a moment and enjoying the view after climbing a mountain or sitting in the sand and watching the sunset makes me smile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, hear their stories and share new adventures together. For me meeting new people is part of the process of life long learning. Let’s connect share our stories and make the world a even better place.

Interests

I am interested in traveling, people, nature, real life stories, sports, arts, culture, museums, music, politics, poetry, books, history, cooking, board games, hiking, cycling, camping, talking about life, etc...

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe in the life long process of learning so I am always interested in learning new things.
If you want I can share my stories about South Africa with you or I can tell you about using sport games as a tool to connect people.
And if you want I can teach you how to do a handstand.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook and try new dishes. But no worries if you don’t trust my experimental cooking skills I am also good in cutting the vegetables or washing the dishes.
