ABOUT ME

ALL ABOUT ME?! To make it short... After a lifetime of growing up in various locations in my dear home country, Finland, I felt the need to keep on doing as I always did; move around. That urge took me to volunteer in Greece, return later refreshened to Finland to study, and thereafter move to Sweden to start something completely different. I love languages and have been studying several, and I'm at the moment focusing on Arabic and Hebrew. That's why I'm at the moment living in Israel and trying to contribute, learn, teach and exchange as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

People are people - not politics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been couch surfing in several countries and also hosted myself. Through CS I have met some amazing people who are very dear to me.

Interests

Everything! One of the most important things in my life is music. I couldn't live without my friends and meeting new people. I'm very interested in languages and cultures and I'd love to study approximately every language which unfortunately isn't possible. So I just have to choose. I love food and cooking. I like to occupy myself very often although sometimes it's just great to enjoy sitting home and do nothing special.
