WE CAN HOST GUESTS THE EARLIEST IN SEPTEMBER AGAIN! I was born in Berlin, studied Scandinavian studies, pedagogics and history of Science and techniques. I graduaded in 2009. I moved to Helsinki with my daughter Eila to live with my fiance Mika. He is also on couchsurfing with an own profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/mikara

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In general I would say that although I have gone through many depressing phases, I managed them all alive and grew stronger. And I am willing to help other people and encourage them to never give up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach German or Finnish, in exchange I would like to learn Estonian (but I would need to begin from zero) or getting to know people who help me to improve my French and Swedish, because I have forgotten so much! :-) I am also interested in the Japanese language and culture, but I think the language would be too difficult to learn for me....or if you can teach me, feel free to do it! :-) Furthermore, I am interested in baking and I love to teach and to learn new cake recipes or other recipes
