About Me

CURRENT MISSION

stay just as happy as I am now.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing girl who works as a GP in one of the health centers in Helsinki. I love my job :) Just wish I had more time to travel.. I love my life in Helsinki though and feel like the happiest person alive with all the lovely people around me. I like learning about new things, pretty much about anything. I think people would describe me as trustworthy and friendly. I love meeting new people and listening to their stories and views on life! I'm definitely a morning person, not very good at staying up late. I love coffee and chilling with friends and having good conversations :).
I live in Arabianranta, Helsinki, with my boyfriend Mason (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/masonb81) and our two poodles, Milo and Tilda.

PHILOSOPHY

*When life gives you lemons, add vodka.
*Those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.
*Nobody is perfect and nobody has it easy. You never know what people are going through. So pause before you start judging, criticizing, or mocking others. Everybody is fighting their own unique war.
*If you never go, you will never know.
*Life starts at the end of your comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I mostly enjoy hosting with my boyfriend Mason ( https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/masonb81 ) and preferably more than one night so I get to know the person/persons a bit better. If I just have time I try to also join some events every now and then.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I travelled in the US and Canada in 2010 for 4 weeks with 2 friends and most of the nights we couchsurfed. It was an incredible experience and I definitely want to both host and travel in the future as well! We also did some couchsurfing on our scandinavia roadtrip. All cs I have hosted have been awesome :)11/10 Louisa, Germany 1/11 Andrè, Brazil 1/11 Ramy, UK 1/11 Samet, Turkey 2/11 Ismail, Austria5/11 Eduardo, Brazil5/11 Ahmed, Finland/Irak5/11 Sejan, USA5/11 Sid, France6/11 Ebu, Turkey6/11 Julia, Germany6/11 Markus, Germany6/11 Rosa, Austria7/11 Majid, South Korea7/11 Furkan, Turkey7/11 Andy, Switzerland7/11 Polina, Russia7/11 Galahad, Australia8/11 Billy, France9/11 Rodrigo, Chile9/11 Yoshiko, Japan12/11 Jason, Canada12/11 Thomas, France1/12 Thomas&Manuel, Germany1/12 Dino, Finland/Italy1/12 Nina&Jenny, Switzerland
