Overview
About Me
I love traveling and so far I've been to 38 different countries. When I was 19, I traveled for the first time alone. I traveled to Russia where I visited Saint Petersburg, Moscow, and some small towns. I also volunteered at an animal shelter in Moldova for three months. It was such a nice experience. It was really hard to leave the shelter after those three months without adopting some animals. I felt like I wanted all of them. After that, I was hitchhiking around Romania, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia.
I also volunteered in Spain as an Aupair for 6 weeks, I didn't have the best experience with that family but it was amazing to be in Spain.
After Spain, I traveled in Ireland, The UK, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany.
And now I’ve quit my job in Finland to travel the world.
I absolutely love adventure sports and the mountains so I’d happily join you if you do any adventure sports or go to the mountains.
I’m also a certified scuba diver
I also love to learn about other cultures, countries, and languages. Usually when I meet travelers then I really enjoy talking with them about our travel experiences, and cultures. I like to improve my language skills as well with native speakers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
There are a couple of reasons:
1) I am always traveling alone and sometimes loneliness can really hit you so thanks to Couchsurfing I can find some people to be with.
2) I can learn about the local life, culture, traditions, etc.
3) It is always good to make local friends and to know people from different countries.
4) I can practice my language skills with native speakers.
