CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people. Host some surfers. Save up for my next big adventure!

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and seeing new things. I am in awe of how huge the world really is and I can't wait to see as much of it as possible! I really like boats and the water as well as mountains and cities. While I do party occationally, I'd much rather have a good conversation with someone over a coffee or see breath-taking sites.

I'm a university student currently studying in Finland for the semester. I am majoring in Biochemistry and hope to one day go into medical research.

PHILOSOPHY

Go with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed when I was traveling in Europe. Now I am home and would love to host some surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couchsurfing experience with Anju in Tampere, Finland. It was so wonderful! She was an amazing host.

I surfed with Diego in Madrid and he was so helpful in showing us around the city. He was a very generous host and I had a great experience.

I surfed with Constance in Barcelona and again had a wonderful experience. I wish I had planned to stay in Barcelona longer.
