About Me

Teacher/travel guide. In love with Turkey. Living in Finland and in Turkey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

New way to experience travelling. Staying in the hotels you will miss alot and hotels are the same all over the world. You can get much more staying with the locals. Motorbike trip in Europe going on; need economical places to spend nights. When in need I hope to find a couch to stay and of course offer a couch to someone who needs it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Balloon ride in Cappadocya Turkey
This on-going motorbike trip in Europe

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is learning says the teacher in me. The best way to learn is to share experiences together; learn from each others. I can teach you how to knit woollen socks. Also some Finnish if you want, or even little bit Turkish. Every person is a book; just open and hear the story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Living in two counties; depends where I am. In Finland moving after work so depends where I happen to live what I can offer. At least a safety place to sleep.I can cook but I am even better to bake! If somebody is interested, I can teach to knit woollen socks; sock knitting addict. We can learn some Finnish or have nice conversations about travelling and life. When surfing I can help in household; do the dishes, clean toilet/bathroom, take dog out, clean cat's toilet, play with the kids or even be a nanny if you want to have some freetime or help in the garden. If I can help, it is my pleasure to do it :)
