About Me

Hello there!
I'm a young woman from Finland and I love to travel. I study social studies in Diaconia University of Applied Science in Helsinki and I work in daycare. I'm very interested in other cultures and I'm going to India next fall for international student exchange and I'm happy for the opportunity to really experience India. I have spent a year in United states as an au pair and I'm so exited to visit my hostfamily this summer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I love to meet the people behind their countries. In hostels you usually meet other travellers and don't get to know natives at all. When I stayed in United States for a year I really loved to see what living in USA really ment. You can only see that if you stay with real people and not with hostels or hotels. I also love to meet new people and to be welcomed to their homes means a lot to me.

Interests

I'm interested of travelling (d'uh xD) and different cultures. Geocaching is one of my favourite hobbies and I love to get new cities and countries to my list. I'm also a big fan of nature and my family has a great summer cottage in Finnish archipelago where I love to spend most of my summers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to radio a lot and usually I listen to Rock or popmusic. Imagine Dragons is coming to Finland on next January and I'm very exited to see them live.

I watch a lot of movies and usually all genres go well with me. I read a lot too and usually I read either fantasy or classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent an amazing year with one awesome family in USA.
