About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A balancer between trying to stay still long enough to finish my Masters thesis and degree one day, whilst working and finding all the time there is just to travel and see as many places on Earth as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 25-year old person who's biggest passion is traveling. I'm always finding ways to explore new places and have noticed that pretty much all of my money goes to traveling. I love meeting new people and have been told to be super social (and loud). Even though I'm a Finn, I've always thought that I don't resemble one, and have felt more comfortable and natural when I've been living in Spain in 2009-2010, Mexico in 2013 or Australia in 2014. I believe life you live needs to make you happy, but to challenge you a bit and make you always want to learn more.

PHILOSOPHY

You can never have too little time or money to experience the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm interested in both surfing and hosting, both give great changes to meet new people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been both surfing and hosting, loving CS!

Interests

Traveling, obviously, my passion number one. But when stuck still for a while, I enjoy listening to music, hanging with people, watching movies etc. Basic things make me happy. When in places warmer than Finland, I'm almost always found at the beach (expecting there is one), since the Sun and warmth make me super happy. I also like doing sports, in Finland I go to the gym and in summers/abroad I love playing beach volley.
