I'm a city girl who moved 7 y ago to Arctic Circle (Finnish Lapland) to explore what life has to give. Life has given a lot during my years in Lapland - a job, a place to live and love, two children and - lucky me - a dog in size of a reindeer...

I've met my husband in year 2000 (or 1999, who really counts) and in January 2010 we moved from Espoo to his home village Äkäslompolo.

These days I'm Publisher and Editor in Chief at a local newspaper & freelancer Photographer/Journalist. Find me also in Instagram or check out my web pages www.saturenko.com (sorry, not so many landscape photos but maybe you can figure out my mental life via my photos).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In this state of my life (two boys in age of 1 and 6) travelling isn't possible but I would love to meet new people who share common values of life - love of life and arctic nature.
