About Me

CURRENT MISSION To save those euros for a new trip 💸 ABOUT ME I'm always on the run and I love experiencing new things and challenging myself. I am an open-minded girl who is eager to see what the world has to offer. I spent a year backpacking by myself in Australia a few years back and that's where I first Couchsurfed too. After Down Under I went back home to start my studies in university. I've been traveling around Europe quite extensively and spent two semesters abroad as an exchange student in Switzerland and Austria. Spent six weeks by myself backpacking (and picked up some Spanish!) in Peru, Bolivia and Chile in spring 2018. Always on the run... PHILOSOPHY I'm not a big fan of quotes. I would like to see more action than words in whatever people do since I believe actions truly speak louder than words.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've done a lot of Couchsurfing in Australia and Europe and I want to pay back by hosting travelers when at home!

Please note: I'm rather busy this academic year since I am working at the university during the week and many of my evenings and weekends are devoted to playing volleyball. You can still send me a request but I'll have to see if Couchsurfing fits my schedules!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS is a great way to meet locals, exchange ideas and explore areas with people who know all the best spots: you have the chance to see other things than just the tourist traps.

Interests

Discovering new music.
Art galleries, pop art, street art.
Vintage in all shapes and sizes.
Sunday markets.
Underground bars and clubs.
Cave raves.
Hikes to the highest of peaks.
Learning about other cultures and languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

Exploring new artists is not even a hobby anymore it's just something I do all the time. Summer festivals are one of the best things I know. I prefer indie, soul, electronic music, house, rock and rap but as I said I am open-minded and (almost) anything goes!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had the courage to go for the things that genuinely interest me and do things on my own.

What I Can Share with Hosts

For hosts I can offer good chats and fun times hanging out. I'll share all my ridiculous travel stories. I don't want to brag but I make delicious Finnish pancake.
