We are two friends from Helsinki, Finland, traveling together in Europe by hitch-hiking.

Saila Pönkä: I am 20 year old art student from Helsinki. Studying currently my Bachelor's degree in Dance. I have just recently gotten more interested in politics and sociology and have thought about applying to study to Faculty of social sciences. I like to have long nice discussions and wonder the world. I appreciate art, nature and Havu and consider myself to be easy to get along with. I also get easily excited about new things.

Havu "Paraskeva" Laakso: I am 19 years old and graduated this year from Helsinki Upper Secondary School of Visual Arts. Right now I'm working for UNICEF. The best things I know are good conversations during the night with friends, spontaneous crazy ideas and adventures. I am outgoing, positive and my mission in this planet is to make the world a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When travelling, we would love to meet locals and hear about the city from them. Also we have a small budget.
