Hi!

I came to Finland to study at the University of Helsinki and now ended up staying to work. I have Finnish heritage and have recently been taking up nordic folk dancing and learning to play the kantele.

In the US have lived in Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. I've also lived in Spain, Chile, and Finland, plus extensive work travel throughout Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, to travel and meet people of course... I love hearing people's stories and what they've done, whether you're well traveled or not, we each have such unique experiences and therefore we can always learn something from each other. I like seeing things from different perspectives and challenging the way I think. The more we do so the better we can identify with people and ultimately better know ourselves, as well.

Interests

I'm a sociolinguist, researcher, and sports consultant. I'm interested in anything language and culture.

• traveling
