My name is Rita and I am from Finland. I've spent 17 years of my life in Asia, more specifically in Singapore, Thailand, and China. I was living and working in a corporate job in England for the last year but now traveling with my boyfriend in South East Asia for the next 9 months!

I enjoy photography, surfing, watching documentaries and learning which is my favourite local drink in a country (usually prefer the alcoholic ones!). I also love learning about new cultures and meeting people from all around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to meet cool people that will show me what their city/country is really about rather than listen to touristy things!
