🌶️Autumn 2024 I will be living in Hungary🌶️

Greetings from Finland, Tampere☀️

I'm a very relaxed and adventurous person, currently studying social services at Tampere University of Applied Sciences for the second year. I'm super interested in people and different cultures. Hence why I love traveling🌱

Right now for me its important to travel, create meaningfull connections, experience different cultures, make new memories, and have fun.

I spend most of my time in school and doing volunteer work. I'm also a chef and I love to do artsy things such as paint and take photos. I'm quite the introvert but I still love being around people. You'll most likely find me in nature, at a gaming cafe, or at used book store.

In the photos, you can see my lovely student overalls✨

Photos I've taken can be found on insta:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, learn new things and host people when I can. Not here to just find a free place to sleep. I believe that if you give something you should get something in return. It can simply just be a smile or a interesting chat.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love me some Fleetwood Mac or Arppa (Finnish indie singer). Books definitely the classics and non-fiction. I also love Marvel movies and horror👻

Some of my favorite movie directors: Both coppolas, tarantino, kubrick, lynch, nolan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joining my university's studentboard, traveling alone for the first time and getting my first degree back in 2019.

2024 I worked as an au pair in Freiburg, Germany. It was a cool experience living in there and being part of a new family.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you about Finnish culture and also teach you how to make traditional Finnish food. Oh and I can bring snacks. Very important😄

What I Can Share with Hosts

So because I'm a chef despite studying totally different thing now, I can still cook great food. I also have good stories from my travels.
