Overview
About Me
I'm an adventurous Finn, future Environmental Science student. After high school I decided to take a few gap years. First I wanted to go to see the wonders of the South America. I lived in Ecuador for 10 months, basically volunteering. Currently I'm living in my hometown Jyväskylä after another 8 months when I was working and studying in the border of France and Geneva (Switzerland). I love learning new things, visiting new places, sharing ideas, tasting new food and get to know with new people. Exploring the world with peace!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would like to meet new people, get to now the culture and places and of course help others to experience new things!
Interests
Traveling, reading, writing, music, learning new skills. Good documentaries and conversations about what's happening in the world. Being close to nature - trekking and camping and exploring the wonders of it. I'm interested in healthy living and making the world a bit better place to be for everyone. Interested in and living the vegan and plastic/waste free lifestyle. Trying to figure out what is the best way to live environmentally friendly and seeking for my inner peace.
