About Me

Hello! I'm 25 years old woman from Finland! I live in eastern Finland where I'm studying to become a class room teacher. I spend my free time mostly hanging out with my friends and making long conversations about life. I'm also playing accordion which I love very much. Sometimes just a good movie with the great story is best way to spend night! I travel quite much in Finland and abroad visiting my friends and discovering new places and cultures and ofcourse making new friends! :)

I try to always be joyful even when it's not so easy and do and give what I can with joy! That's the way life is easier I think :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It would be lovely to meet some local people and make new friends all over the world! I think couch surfing is a warm and nice option to hostels! I like to meet new people and learn about their culture and life! I have lived in dormitory and with many people in same house so it's natural for me to live with many people and I enjoy the atmosphere! :) I have also used carpool in Finland many times and it have been to meet new people and talk with them! :)
