About Me

I don't want to be one of those people talking about "One day I want to..."
My "one day" is today and I'm working on turning all my dreams into plans. My main focus in life right now is experiencing as many adventures and collecting as many stories as possible. I've been traveling more or less fulltime for almost 4 years now, backpacking and picking up seasonal jobs in interesting places.
I love both crazy adrenaline-filled adventures and spending time rewinding with good people or out in nature. You're just as likely to find me jumping off a cliff as laying in a hammock submerged in a book for hours at a time.
Also disclaimer: I will stop and play with every cute dog or cat I see. Can't help it, sorry 😇

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people around the world and make new friends. I would much rather experience all the new places I'm going to visit with locals who can show me what life is really like there, not just what tourists usually see and stick to hotels everywhere. I'm hoping to meet as many awesome people as I can and make lifelong friends.
One day when I'm done with my travels I would love to open up my own couch to travelers from all around the world and continue meeting interesting people and exchanging stories.

Interests

Random adventures are the best. Some of my favorite things to do include hiking/camping (and well backpacking around the world without a definite plan), running, reading, cooking, any artsy-craftsy stuff, riding/training horses, and playing with all the furry friends

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left Finland and moved to Miami with my best friend barely knowing anybody there. Two years later went on vacation on a beautiful tropical island and ended up getting hired at their tiki bar and staying until the employee housing got shut down and I took off on an 8-month backpacking adventure around Europe, which then turned into almost four years of the traveler lifestyle and counting

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a ton of crazy stories to share with hosts and I would love to hear yours as well! If you are busy I have no problem finding things to do and entertaining myself, however if you're down to go on random adventures with me I promise to be interesting company.
Also feel free to let me loose in the kitchen, one thing I miss while backpacking is cooking so I would be more than happy to whip up a meal for you!
