About Me

I'm curious person who enjoys traveling as it's a great way to explore different cultures and learn from them.

My first international trip was to Hungary when I was 13years old and after that I've had a endless hunger to cover more.

I enjoy long meaningful conversations over a drink, in order to learn more about people and their stories. I'm also up for sport and music events.

As a surfer I'm Easygoing. I've lived with other families twice (first as an exchange student in Ecuador and then Au Pair in Australia) and learnt from those experiences. I'm clean, social and respect the house rules. Check my references ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet like minded people and learn from there. Sharing cultures, habits, experiences and gain understanding.

Interests

I wanna hear stories and learn from other people. I'm curious person but the same time open minded and tolerant. I think the best way to learn about other people is over a coffee or beer. I don't enjoy night clubs, but always up for live music. It doesn't really matter if it's a small garage gig or bigger festival.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music would be SKA and punk/rock. La Pegatina is my favorite band at the moment, but spotify playlist is long and covers several styles and bands. Especially for live music almost every type of music is fine!

I do movies as a social aspect and let the other person to choose. Alone I prefer reading.
Recently I've done several sport biographies, travel stories and also some novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving between two cliffs with 15 grey nurse sharks in Nelson Bay. That was my 7th dive and really got me hooked!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about Finnish culture and share my travel stories. I know several games with playing cards and always carry a deck with me.
I don't enjoy cooking but can help!
