About Me

---

I may seem shy and quiet, but I perceive myself as a curious, humorous, easy-going and happy human being!

I believe less is more - life becomes more meaningful and enjoyable when you focus your energy on what adds value to your life.

Fun fact: I'm definitely a coffee and dogs kinda person. (Sorry all you teas and cats people!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm curious about different cultures, I love to be on the move and meet new people. I haven't surfed or hosted yet, but I've been part of the gang in my town for some time now meeting up with local hosts and visiting surfers - some of the most genuine people I've ever met were through this channel!

Recently I've gotten very interested in traveling through land due to air traffic's adverse effects on the climate. I'll be more than happy to hear your stories and tips on where and how to travel through land. The whole world is open!

Cycling is one of the things I love love love to do, and one of my dreams is to bike through Europe, all the way from the north to the south and back.

Interests

I feel very passionately about the environment and try my best to practice what I preach by living my life as sustainably as I can. I don't actually enjoy preaching, but if I can open someone's eyes on the matter of environment just by showing an example, I'm happy!

I like to get moving and spend time outdoors. Anything that gets me sweating or time spend in the nature is what I go for!

I also enjoy chilling at home practicing yoga, cooking, and spending time with friends, even if it's only sharing a cup of tea or watching a movie.

Zero-plans-days to the win! I might sound like a boring person, but I love to wake up in the morning with no musts in my head, live my life slowly, and see where the day takes me.

Music, Movies, and Books

To be honest, I'm not big on music, but hear me out before you judge! I mainly listen to the radio or random playlists on Spotify, but I do love good beats that make my feet dance.

I appreciate a good comedy or a documentary the most. There's never enough laugher and knowledge in this world!

As a kid I used to read a book a day (almost), but nowadays I mainly read educational articles related to my interests. (Gosh, that sounds boring.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I appreciate the infamous little things rather than cling onto one amazing one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm all about empowering people through self-care, which is why I studied physiotherapy. I can give you tips on exercise and relaxation!

I believe food made with love is the ultimate care we can give to one another, which is why I love to share my cooking!

I can also teach you some Finnish, if you're up for the challenge! ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully some good laughs and conversations, maybe a different perspective or thoughts on the world.
