Currently I'm doing my exchange in Leuven, Belgium. My couch locates in Tampere, Finland.

I'm calm, but still cheerful person and I like to meet new people and have conversations with them. I also like to organize and take care of things. My main interests right now are running (I love to participate to running events) and in general, healthy lifestyle which contains stretching, pilates, other interesting sports, like aerial hoop, and interest of vegetarian food. Reading, listening music and trying to learn to play ukulele are also interests close to my heart. I'm dreaming about seeing the world and starting singing lessons. Two of my favourite place where I've been visiting were Como Lake in Italy, and Lisse (Keukenhof's flower park) in Netherlands. One of my most important values is being kind to everyone.

Back in Finland I'd be glad to show around Tampere and its awesome Finnish nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here, because I'd love to experience the world and meet new people. Earlier I have accommodated people via couchsurfing with my boyfriend in Tampere and got many pleasant encounters (even friends) back then. I'm also interested in to learn more about new cultures and people from all over. I've been an international tutor back in Finland and during my exchange I met a lot of amazing people from everywhere. I'd like to continue that way.

Especially in this summer I'll have time to travel and planning to do so, because I'm not going back to Finland immediately after my exchange in Belgium. During July, I'll travel in France and UK with my boyfriend Heikki, whose profile is here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/heikkiviitanen. As a couple, we are both responsible and adaptable. We're specially searching for a place to stay in Brighton.
