I'm an easygoing Finnish university student with a never-ending love for experiencing international atmosphere and sharing moments with other people.

I've been lucky to see the example my parents hosting exchange students from various countries through the years. My dream is to someday also have my own home where I can welcome people from all around the world, exchange experiences and have conversations that enrich the lives of each one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet local people willing to share their culture and suggest me the places and experiences a tourist might not even think about. I love to get to know new people and hear what they think about life. And of course cheap stays are a student choice!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing a leopard walking just beside our car in Kruger national park.
Ice hole swimming and rolling in snow in bikini.
Feeding +10 wild hedgehogs at my teachers backyard.
Spending the Christmas with a Venezuelan family dancing salsa until 5 am.
Being a camp instructor in more camps than I can remember - love it!
The Moo Poo day in my South African high school - you can ask me about that later, not going to explain it here :D

Teach, Learn, Share

- I can teach you Finnish (or English and Spanish, if your skills are B1 or less)
- I might be able to give you some tips on singing (I've taken contemporary singing lessons for some years)

- I'm a language junkie, so any language you can teach me is received with enthusiasm!
- I love learning to cook different meals and spending time in the kitchen chatting meanwhile doing that
- I would love to learn to use my camera better, let´s have a photo shoot!
