I don't travel a lot, but when I do, I love it!

I'm 30 years old female from Porvoo/Borgå, Southern Finland. I live in a row house with my partner and two cats. I love to live near the nature, walks in the forest and by the sea are my meditation. I also love wandering in big cities, see things, meet people, live city life..and then come back home :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people when traveling and learn from other cultures. I also want to improve my English skills. Hotel life is more expensive and less interesting :) I'm a newbie here!

Interests

Culture and Arts, Design, Nature, Icehockey (i'm a huuuge fan!), Yoga, Disc Golf

Music, Movies, and Books

Norah Jones, Billie Holiday, Adele, Rag'n'Bone Man, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Lukas Graham, Justice, M83, Studio Killers, SANNI (Finnish), PMMP (Finnish), Haloo Helsinki (Finnish), Asa (Finnish)...

Too many favorite movies, I watch movies all the time :)

Some of my favorite books are The Elegance of the Hedgehog (Muriel Barbery), We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves (Karen Joy Fowler), Little Women (Louisa May Alcott), The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins), Harry Potters (J.K.Rowling). Mostly I read Finnish literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had the courage to leave my full time job and become full time student. I've had courage to study abroad, meet new people and get rid of my shyness.
