About Me

Traveling and getting to know new people and cultures is my passion. I'm a Finn living in Stockholm but my home is where my baggage is. I travel a lot, which leads to limited hours spent in Stockholm, but I'd be happy to host whenever at home.

In addition to traveling, I'm a bit of a sports fanatic. Football, running and gym classes are part of my daily schedule. I like running in new places when traveling as you get to see a lot quite fast.
I have lived in the US and Scotland before moving to Sweden. I and my cooking have been influenced by those countries as well as all my travel destinations and I like to try and cook food from different cuisines.

I'm a positive person with a sarcastic sense of humour. I live by my calendar but I'm quite easy to talk over to do spontaneous things, as well. I enjoy being active and sportive, going out for drinks and socialising as well as staying in and relaxing in my sweats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in meeting new people from different places. I have traveled so much and received help from local people that I know that a local contact makes getting to know a place easier and more enjoyable and interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was at my good friend's wedding in Pakistan and the party lasted for 2 weeks. I wore local clothes and met amazing people. I had only one food poisoning, so a very positive trip altogether!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyday is a lesson
