About Me

I'm a dreamer, dreaming of my future travels and dreaming to have enough money to travel everywhere I want to (which would be all the world). Meanwhile, I'm still stuck with my feet deep in the sand of Finland, going through those everyday routines to reach that dream one day (and making a trip or two when the budget allows it).

I love to watch cooking programs and then cook and pretend I'm a good cook as well. As I'm suffering from an incurable sweet tooth, I love the deserts the most, making and eating them! I also love to explore different cuisines so if you have some cooking tips from your country, please do share them with me ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: all kinds of music, mostly like one song from one band/artist so it's pretty difficult to name just one singer; I like them all (almost)

Movies: Inception, X-men (all of them), Lord of the Rings aand many many more...

Books: Harry Potters, A Tres Metros Sobre el Cielo, Divergent just to name few

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done is probably the time I've spent living abroad, first as an au pair in Spain, living with a local family, and later studying in Taiwan, in a totally new environment, a new culture, using and learning a totally new language. From these trips I got some amazing new experiences and some friends for a lifetime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Finnish (though I warn you; it's one of the most difficult languages of the world, or that's what they say) or Spanish or English (though I'm not a native).

I hope to learn about your culture and perhaps a bit of your language (I love learning languages),

I can share something about my life, my culture, and can share my food as well :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my stories, good company, can teach some Finnish for you, and perhaps even cook something with you if there's time :)

Countries I’ve Visited

China, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan

Countries I’ve Lived In
