Hi. I am Luowei from China and now studying in Helsinki. I have been staying in Finland for almost three years so I pretty much now most of the sightseeing spots and local life in Finland. I am a super fan of Japanese anime and I can speak some Japanese.
I am living in a shared student apartment with two other Finnish housemates.
My place locates right on the airport line trackway, which means it is quite easy to reach anyway by train(20min from airport and 10min to Helsinki city center). And also 3mins walk from the train station to my home. A shopping hub is just one train station ahead from my place, taking you 2mins to reach there.

What I can offer:
1. I have an extra comfortable matress in my room. If you mind sharing the same room, we can move the matress to the sitting room and move also my extra heater there so it wont be cold at night.

2.Kitchen stuff is free for using.
3. Free wifi
4.Free laundry
5. Free Saunaaaaaaaaaa!!!
We have both sauna rooms for woman and man in student apartments,
6. Offer tips for traveling. Since I am also a fan of traveling, I can offer you many useful tips, not only for Finland but for all countries I have been to.
7. If I have time, I can be your tour guide hanging around popular tourism spots, if you love nature, I can take you to some popular parks in Helsinki or Espoo regions.
The spots/activities come to mind are as follow:
Helsinki zoo
Kaivopuisto park
Pihlajasaari recreational park
Malminkartano hill (the top hill of helsinki)
Ruoholahti canal
Hanami Festival in May
If you come to Helsinki around May, I can take you to the biggest cherry tree park where they have hanami festival (cherry flower watching festival) because I go there every year!

8.If possible, I can take you to Porvoo (a historical beautiful city close to Helsinki, taking 1hour to reach there by bus); Tallinn in Estonia by ferry. It is also easy to reach Stockholm my ferry in Helsinki harbor.

9.It is also ok to pick you up at the airport if my schedule is ok.
Please dont hesitate to ask me any questions.
