Unfortunately I'm not able to host any guests, but I'm always interested in meeting people and showing them around so don't hesitate to message me :) Also if you have any questions about Åland or Finland I'd be glad to answer!

CURRENT MISSION

Just to live and make the most of it!

ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm an extroverted and honest 31-year-old Finn with a slightly odd sense of humor. I'm addicted to reading, I never leave my apartment without a book. I also watch a lot of movies and try desperately to write my awesome breakthrough novel.

I love having conversations about basically anything at all - from serious topics to just discussing ridiculous and fun things and laughing my head off. I love meeting new people and it's always enjoyable to learn about other cultures and countries.

I'm an ice hockey nerd (go go Toronto Maple Leafs) and I'm slightly obsessed with Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just think that different people and different cultures can really compliment each other (did you know that the highest-ranked cities in those 'Most Innovative' lists are all cities with a large amount of immigrants and people of different ethnicities?). And it's just super fascinating to meet new people and hear stories.

Interests

I'm just interested in a lot of stuff, and I love to read about different things, visit museums, watch documentaries, talk to different kinds of people and learn about their cultures and lives.

The list is endless.

These days I pretty much listen only to Billy Talent (my all-time favorite band), Muse and Fall Out Boy, but I have a very varying taste in music.

On TV I like to watch How I Met Your Mother, Stranger Things, Game of Thrones, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Fargo, The L Word, The Flight of the Conchords, American Horror Story, South Park, Sex and the City, Girls, True Blood, Seinfeld, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Sopranos, Modern Family, Brooklyn 99...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to see Toronto Maple Leafs-Colorado Avalanche at Air Canada Centre in November 2015. Leafs won. It was a perfect evening.
Me and my boyfriend took our first real holiday together, and that included a three-day road trip in Southern France, Andorra and Northern Spain - Saint Michel-Carcassonne-La Cortinada (Andorra)-Andorra La Vella-Sort-Huesca-Deba-San Sebastian-Capbreton-Saint Michel. It was fantastic to drive in the mountains.
I also rode a bicycle around Lake Constance in Germany/Switzerland/Austria; the views were amazing!
I lived in Karlsruhe, Germany, for five months while doing an Erasmus study exchange. That was a fantastic experience :)
