Hey! I'm a nearly-finished (Finnish) master's student with a big love for traveling. For me life is about learning new things, from places, experiences, books and people alike. I enjoy meeting people from all different walks of life, and hope to use couchsurfing to make new friends with a similar outlook on life.

From March to April, I will be staying in Princeton for a short research project. It would be great to meet people during this time, either in Princeton, around New Jersey, or in NYC. In the last days of February, I will also be spending 3 days in NYC, and would be really happy to find a someone willing to host and hang out with me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A wish to make new friends and find like-minded people around the world:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak five languages and am glad to do language exchange.
I have travelled quite a bit and like to share and hear stories.
I love to discuss philosophy, society, culture and, well, life in general.
I have a thing for running and have done quite a bit of individual sports. Always up for a new challenge!

Actually, I'm almost always up for any new experience, as long as it's legal!

What I Can Share with Hosts

All the above listed. Most fittingly, maybe, I love to cook and bake, so doing that for a host would be a great pleasure. I would also be happy to gelp with language practice whenever I can.
