About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

Im a positive and adventurous person. I love to meet new people and hear about their views of life. Especially if you speak one of the languages I study I would be more than happy to talk with you! Right now I´m quite busy with my studies and work, so I can´t always take time to show you around in my hometown Helsinki, but I can give you advice and I also enjoy a good meal and a conversation at home in the evening or going out for a glass of wine or beer, see a concert etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Dont live for tomorrow

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was surfing for a while in South America with my boyfriend who was the official member of Couchsurfing in our small group of adventurers. I had so many good experiences that I decided to join myself. Right now I´m done with traveling and I´m able to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve had some surfing experiences already before becoming an official member. I think when traveling in a foreign country it´s a very easy way to arrive to a new place when you meet a local and he or she introduces you to their way of life. It´s much less touristic for sure and it gives you a possibility to make friendships and have a deeper experience about the place you´re visiting.

Interests

I love doing sports, ride my bicycle or go hiking. I love camping outside in the nature. I like trying new things and adventure a bit. That´s why I like traveling, because it´s an adventure! I like also cooking, watching movies or documentaries. I also enjoy going to a music festival or concert.
