I'm just a regular girl who loves to travel and usually I'm traveling alone since my friends are busy.

These days, I don't care about sightseeing so much... I rather enjoy just exploring the streets, trying out amazing new things to eat, the local food, and it would be cool to meet locals as well as other travelers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people from different parts of the world.

I really truly enjoy just talking to people when I'm traveling, whether it be with locals or with other tourists. There's no need for me to see every single castle or other sightseeing.... what I will remember for a long time after coming back home is the interesting conversations, foods we had and perhaps the craft beers I was introduced to. This has been challenging to me sometimes too, because I have always been a bit shy person - but it's good to challenge yourself I think, do something out of the ordinary.

Since my budget is limited and can't be traveling all the time, I hope many tourists would come to my hometown and I could do cool stuff with them here (for example going to pick up blueberries or just hiking in the nature, going to some of the summer festivals, having barbecue outdoors, going to the beach or at winter even skiing if there is snow).

Interests

Knitting is my absolute main hobby, sometimes I carry my knitting where ever I go :D I go to many knitting meetups and I have gone to some international knitting events (in Berlin and Edinburgh). We have really good yarn shops in Turku and when I travel I like to visit their yarn shops and check if there's any knitting events.

I really enjoy outdoor activities; hiking, berry picking (and mushrooms too), riding a bike, swimming, having a picnic on the beach, love skiing (both cross country and downhill) but we don't have much snow these days.

These days I'm into photography as well. I would like to learn how to take better pictures and recently I found my old film camera and have been taking pictures with it too. Mostly taking pictures while traveling.

It's very interesting to try local foods when traveling. I especially really really love Korean food! Actually loved the food in Japan too! Had some amazing food in Mexico too, ceviche was amazing.

When I'm traveling alone it's kind of sad to eat alone, that's why I try to find people to eat with.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
my music taste is pretty wide. I love Finnish pop music (such as Alma, Sanni, Evelina...) and latin pop (Shakira, J Balvin, Cali Y El Dandee, Piso 21, David Bisbal, Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull etc...), I pretty much like today's top hits in general. I love some 90´s Finnhits.
I like H.E.R., Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, The Chainsmokers, Years & Years, Beyonce, Camila Cabello, Jason Derulo and Black Pink to name just a few.
I like Mr.Children!

Movies:
I would like to go to movies more often. Can't remember what I liked...

Books:
Rei Shimura books! Don't really enjoy classics.
