I am a 50+ year old English woman living in Finland for the past six & a half years. I enjoy a simple life here in the country fixing up an old house, gardening, doing DIY & enjoyable & enjoying nature. I am not fluent in Finnish, so I cannot really hold a conversation other than in English.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I thought it might be a good way to meet fellow travelers.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I listen to a few genres of music, but too many artists to list. I am not a movie buff, I prefer the old ones & have not gone to the movies for years. I enjoy biographies & Bill Bryson type stories with humour & an element of adventure.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I Survived six months living in Finland during the winter without hot running water in the house.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I am well traveled, have life experience of raising a family & being a wife for quite some time. I've lived in several different countries, so that has made life interesting at times.

I have a lot of room here on my property and since I've been working hard here for 7 years, would like to share the beauty of the area. I am in the country, among forest & farms, so you would need a vehicle to find me. There is no public transportation in my village. Nearest town is Forssa which is a 20 minute drive west of here. Hameenlinna is an easy forty minute drive east on the 10 Highway.
