Moi! 👋🏽
I’m Linda, 26 years old, and I’m from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮

For the longest time my goal was to visit all countries in the world, but a few years back I realized that’s not what I really want. What I really want, is to get to know SOMEONE from every country. The people can teach you so much more about the country and it’s culture than museums or great views ever will. I love having small conversations with people on random moments and places ❤️

Currently I’m on a gap year after my university studies, and I’m traveling at least until next June. Because of that I’m not in Helsinki and don’t have an apartment, so sadly I can’t host you :( But as soon as I’m not ”homeless” anymore I’m happy to welcome you to be my guest in Helsinki!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me the most important aspect of traveling is getting to know new people, and couchsurfing seems like a great way to do that! I also feel like you learn a lot more about the place you’re visiting, when you have a local contact.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can listen to whatever, I literally have everything from Finnish folklore songs to Tanzanian rap on my Spotify playlist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took matching tattoos with a person I had known for 24 hours

Teach, Learn, Share

You can practise English with me (or Finnish, but I don’t know how likely it is that you’d be leaning that 😅)

I can also teach you how to make THE best cinnamon rolls 😋

What I Can Share with Hosts

I looove photography, so if you want new photos of yourself or your place, I’d love to do that for you! 📸 On my instagram (@llindamandaa & @llindascalles) you can see examples of my photos.
