About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make many new fun friends! Both in Madrid as well as London.

ABOUT ME

I am a Finnish girl now living in Madrid, Spain. I moved here with my fiancée only a couple of months ago, so adjusting is taking place even as I write this. I study in London, and I fly over every month for a weekend for the lectures. This is a pretty new thing and I don't really know anyone from London, so at the same time it would be great to make new friends! Also staying at hotels is very expensive, so I try to look for cheaper means of traveling, couchsurfing being one of those. Used to use Airbnb before.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard only good things about couchsurfing, not only because it's free but because of the people in the couchsurfing community are known to be mostly quite amazing! I've been a member for some years already, but now I have a very good chance to actually become active both in my travels as well as here in Madrid by meeting new people.

Interests

I'm not such a party girl, I like walks in the park and going for coffee more than crazy parties. I actually love coffee. I also do yoga. I'm studying to be a nutritionist, so for sure health interests me, but I also love me some pizzas and donuts. I love books and movies and cats. I used to work at Lush and I love their products. I loooove New York and my biggest dream is to one day live there.

What I Can Share with Hosts
