Three words to describe me: life-loving, bold and curious. I laugh and smile a lot and tend to ask plenty of questions. I love to hang out with friends, but appreciate alone time as well. In Helsinki I host with my boyfriend Oskari.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In short, to receive and to give. The best recommendations for things to do and places to visit I’ve always gotten from a local. That’s what I hope to give as a host, too. In exchange I get to hear about more travels than I could ever do myself.

Interests

Chilling out and being in touch with nature. I enjoy being on skis (whether alpine, crosscountry or telemark) and walking down a hiking trail. Finnish Lapland and the western archipelago are places where my heart feels at rest.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music and movies I know little about, but reading is definitely my cup of tea. I enjoy adventurous, philosophical novels that take me to times and places I haven’t had the chance to visit. Recommend a book, maybe?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed the volcano Villarrica (2800m) in Chile. Three months later I read from the news that the volcano erupted and the whole town by lake Villarrica was evacuated. Standing on the top and seeing all the way to Argentina's side was unforgettable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a pretty mean vegetarian cook! I quit eating red meat in 2016 and have been shifting towards a more plant-based diet ever since. Chopping, stirring and occasionally burning things is one of the best things I can imagine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Northern wisdom! I’m eager to discuss various subjects from society to sustainability to business to technology to almost anything. By profession I’m a communication specialist interested in storytelling, product positioning and branding.
