¡Hola! I am Kerttu, a student from Helsinki, Finland. Me and my partner are traveling in South America during spring 2020. We are excited to discover the countries and learn about different cultures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and learn about their countries, cultures, music, food, drinks - simply the way they are living!

Interests

I am fascinated by other animals and nature. I love to experience new places by hiking and we will be hiking a lot in South America. Home in Helsinki we have our own balcony and we are growing our own vegetables and herbs there every summer, so growing and taking care of plants is also something I like to do. Of course watching good movies and reading great books is also always a pleasure!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am eager to learn more Spanish! I am not good at learning languages from textbooks, I have to experience and use them in real life!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Teach the mysterious Finnish language (and also less mysterious Swedish). Share my experiences and stories and cook excellent vegan food! And of course my couch if you ever visit Finland! :-)
