Im a 22-year old tech student from Finland. I work part time. I have a pretty big family. My parents have an apartment in Kenya, so I'm happy I can call it my second home. My little sister lives in Australia atm. I don't have any pets right now but I'd like to have! So if you have anything furry (excluding spiders...) that would be awesome!

More than anything I love traveling, meeting new people and, well, food. And taking photos. Finland is quite a small country so usually people don't know much about it and it's nice to tell them something about our culture and people in Finland. Did you know that Finns usually avoid contact if there is a risk that they have to do some small talk etc after contact? Or that an average Finn hates hugging?

And then food. I love food, discovering new food cultures, making food and actually anything related to food. So if someone needs a company for a dinner or lunch or brunch or brekkie or coffee, I'm the right girl.

I don't smoke and I'm kinda cool. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a student hotel is usually not an option and I think this is better way to meet new local people than staying in a hotel or hostel. I'd love to discover new cultures, places and restaurants with some local quide, because as a tourist you probably won't find any of those hidden gems every town has. Meeting new people from new cultures is one of the best things I know.

Interests

When I'm not studying or working I'm active in some student organizations. I like fashion and I love shopping. I also love to play golf, go for a run, take photos, travel, eat and go horseback riding or downhill skiing. I play piano and I love to sing when none's listening. I like to read when ever I have time and when I do I read almost anything from cartoons to biographies.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do listen almost everything. If I have to mention some single band or singer I would say Sunrise Avenue or Poets of the Fall. Not cause they're from Finland but cause I think I would listen their music for the rest of my life.

When it comes to movies I also love to watch all kind of movies. I've grown with Harry Potter and as a girl I love, of course, romantic comedys etc. :)

My parents read me a lot when I was a kid, so it's obvious that I like to read.
