About Me

I'm an IT / business / social sciences / communication student (yes, it is quite a mix hah) at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland. I never get tired of learning new things and meeting interesting people, so I figured that CouchSurfing would be a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

At the moment I am studying abroad in Czech Republic and later in summer in Denmark, so I can't offer a place to sleep but sharing stories is always a welcomed activity!

The next destinations:
- Leiden, Nijmegen and Amstedam 1.-9.6. (The Netherlands)
- Budapest 17.-21.6. (Hungary)
- Aarhus and Copenhagen 2.-22.7. (Denmark)
- Berlin, Leipzig 1.-9.8. (Germany)
- Madrid and Barcelona 3.-12.10. (Spain)

I work as a freelance journalist and with live music in Finland. I dream about running off to a small fishing village in Northern Norway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- To explore cities, countries and nature wonders beyond Tripadvisor
- To grab a coffee and hear about new cultures
- To share languages
- Suprise me!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love going to concerts and listen to a wide range of music. At the moment I enjoy techno in bars and swinging jazz at home.

My bookshelf is full and my list of good reads long so this spring I promised myself to read at least a bit every day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer I hitchhiked to Northern Norway, went midnight hiking and slept next to an amazing waterfall. It was magical - the least said!
