About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ENJOYING LIFE!

ABOUT ME

I'm a spontaneous and sometimes crazy young woman who likes traveling and making new friends all around the world. I live in Helsinki, Finland, and I'm a dual-citizen; Finnish-American. My dad lives in San Francisco, and I visit him often too.
I'm very talkative, easy going, open-minded, creative and funny, and I love meeting new people from different countries and cultures.
I'm studying Fashion Design, but I don't want to start my own company yet. First my mission is to work for someone else, or work as a costume designer in the film industry.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not measured by the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by surfing sometimes when I travel, and helping surfers in my hometown as they visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only surfed, because I still live at my Mom's. But I've made many good friends through CS!

Interests

I finished my 10th Marathon this year, and what can I say.. I'm hooked on running races!
I used to dance regularly as well, but since I've been running so much, I don't dance that often.
I'm interested in fashion, movies, running and my hobby where I'm actually pretty good; portuguese!

The first time I arrived in Rio de Janeiro...
