About Me

Almost 1 year now I’ve been living in Turku after almost two years living in Jyväskylä! Feel free to send me a request or message if you want to say hi!

I love travelling, meeting new people and getting a bit lost. I don't always like going down that travelled road. I might take the sharp right turn just to see where it leads! I am sensible and will never do anything to effect my health but I have been told I am a wonderer. I don't always know where I am heading but if I am having fun getting there, than I am okay with it. I don't want to live scared. I want to see as many places as I can and meet as many amazing people as I can.

I love my football/soccer. I have been training since I was 7 and I have never stopped. It has been the main reason for lots of travels. I have played for teams in 5 different countries and I am also a passionate youth coach

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see new places, meet new people and have memorable experiences. I like to see the best in any situation and I love to see the good in other people. A community like couchsurfing is what I stand for.

I want to meet locals when I travel and meet new friends where ever I go!

Interests

Football/ soccer is my biggest passion. I care about the environment, helping others, sports fitness and I love food. I am pretty easy going though. I like most things. Trying to learn more about different types of music and culture.

Learning to play the ukulele 🎶

Sauna of course has been a great addition to my life since moving to Finland 🧖‍♂️

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost every type of music! Everything, maybe everything but heavy metal :) But lots of love for my metal head friends!!

I wish I read a lot more than I do. I love reading a good non-fiction or self help book. I like learning from others and trying not to make the mistakes they made.

Movies, I don't watch many but I do enjoy comedies, action films and sport films. 'Rudy' is my favourite but there are so many other good ones. Goodwill Hunting, August Rush, 4 minute mile...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exploring Barcelona on my own when I was 17. It was my first time traveling somewhere alone and it remains one of my favourite stories

Teach, Learn, Share

Share.. traveling/couchsurfing stories over dinner and a glass of wine

Teach.. Canadian slang and anything football

Learn… I’ve always wanted to learn how to dance! I’ve been thinking of starting to learn Bachata, if you know it, can you teach me? 😅

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will bring an adventurous spirit. I don't party much but I love exploring and having a fun time. I always bring my manners and kindness no matter where I go. I believe that what goes around, comes around. I always make sure that I treat people the way that I would want to be treated. I will bring a smile and will always try to your day better than when it started.
