A small-town girl from Finland, exploring the huge world with her backpack and sometimes tangled thoughts. Enjoyer of small things and big feelings.

I am a journalist, currently working part time and also studying Social Services. Based in Tampere, Finland.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am fond of connecting and sharing moments with people from all the walks of life. Cliche, right? Well, I kinda like cliches.

I also believe that while traveling, the best things are not experienced inside the hotel room walls or at the crowded sights - the things I remember the most from my trips are the nights spent drinking tea and eating a decent loaf of bread with new soul mates. Break the routines, look through the facade and you might just as well find the true nature of travelling.

音乐、电影和书籍

My taste of music is quite versatile, but right now I listen to loads of Finnish indie music. So by hosting me I can give you a lesson on Finnish music. I promise, it will explode your mind! Otherwise I am forever a pop punk kid at heart - All Time Low, Simple Plan, Yellowcard, The Summer Set, We The Kings. All sorts of acoustic music is also close to my heart.

What comes to movies, I'm more a tv-series kinda girl (Criminal Minds is my obsession and Dr. Spencer Reid is my hero. Currently watching Chicago Fire). Books, I enjoy a good biography - it is interesting to read what others have chosen to do with their time on planet Earth (I guess the curiosity of a journalist plays into that just a little bit).

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hiking up Mt. Batur, an active volcano in Bali, at 3am to watch the sunrise (that never came, thanks to thick layer of clouds). I also completed the breath-taking Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a 19km hike around active vulcanic area (something about climbing and volcanoes seems to attract me).

教，学，和分享

Teach: Finnish in all forms - language, cooking, music
Learn: YOUR culture, routines, way of life - what makes your life great, maybe it will make mine even better as well!
Share: chill hangouts, morning runs, evening swims

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

As said above, education in Finnish music. I'm also a decent cook, especially what comes to vegetarian dishes. I might not be a great story teller, but I'm still fond of sharing my adventures and hear about everyone else's.
