Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I’m coming over to Helsinki as an exchange student at Aalto University and want to learn more about the Finnish culture and get an authentic Finland experience. I would love to gain a local’s perspective on the tourist attractions and visit some secret tourist destinations or hidden gems. I love to meet new people and make new friends while sharing my unique cultural upbringing while learning about other cultures and traditions.
