About Me

Traveling the world for the second time, I found myself rooted in Central Australia, working with remote Indigenous communities. I’ve always been drawn to off-the-grid places and cultures, and spending time with Indigenous peoples has become a meaningful part of my journey. After nearly 10 years of wandering, it feels like I’ve found my place. Atleast for some time.

I’m a free-spirited and curious person who loves exploring both the world around me and the one within. I believe in the power of small things and that making others happy brings us happiness too.

I enjoy making friends wherever I go, learning about daily life in new places, diving into subcultures, and trying anything that counts as food.

I’m easygoing, clean, respectful, and happy to follow any house rules. I'm also always up to help out during my stay. I'm truly grateful for any chance to share space, stories, and connection—your hospitality won’t be forgotten. 🙏

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that by giving and receiving, we help build a better world.

Couchsurfing lets me connect with locals, share stories, and see places through the eyes of the people who live there. It’s the best way to go beyond the surface and really understand a culture.

I love making new friends, learning about life in different places, and being part of this global community. Couchsurfing has added a whole new dimension to my travels, and I’m grateful for the real, human experiences it brings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Countless things, but traveling around the world by myself is one dream acheaved.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing travel tips and stories and I like learning different languages. Especially I'd like to learn Spanish and Russian. I can teach you Finnish, Swedish or English.
Deep discussions about how to improve the world and ourselves are always intriguing.

Anything I've learned, I'd be happy to teach! 😊

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ve traveled a lot and love sharing stories, wild experiences, and insights from my own culture. I’m always up for trying something new and exciting.

I bring a kind, open-minded attitude and I’m happy to adapt to your space, routines, or any requests you have. Thanks to a mix of life and work experiences from around the world, I’ve picked up a variety of skills I’m glad to share or use to help out.
