CURRENT MISSION

Hey all!
I have just got back to my home land from the States where I was living about two years! Currently I work at the Helsinki airport but when I'm not there it would be cool to catch up and hear your travel stories. I'm also happy to show the city around and cook for you! :)

ABOUT ME

I would consider myself as a world traveler and explorer. I have lived in 4 countries and just moved back from the States. For me that's the way of traveling I like the most, living somewhere and seeing the typical day of a local. I don't really like touristic spots and I'm trying to avoid them most of the time. I work in a restaurant industry and One my favorite thing to do is to cook for everyone and then eat together. I love just listening music and road trips , exploring new things and exercising.

"Tiia is the funniest person I've met so far. She tries to enjoy every single day of her live and she has such a positive attitude. She is so open minded and she wants to experience as much as possible in her life. Her plan is visiting every country form the world before she turns 70 - good plan I think. By the way, she's soooo crazy what means that having fun with her is guaranteed." - Laura (friend of mine who I met in Boston)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always enjoyed listening and telling stories. One my dream is to be an old grandma sitting on my chair and all of my grand kids are around me and I can tell them the crazy story I have. And what is a better way than being on couchsurfing and meet the same minded people on your journey along the way!

Interests

I'm really curious person, I love learning new, explore places and see as much as possible. I love spending time with friends, I'm really bad planning things so I always end up being spontaneous.

• surfing
• au-pair
• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really like those "easy" movies which you don't really have to even watch and you still know what's going to happen next. I need the feeling that you just keep thinking after the movie what just happened. Few of my favorites are American history X, The Shawshank Redemption, Inception.

I listening every kinda music.
