CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I guess I'm a person interested in the matters of the society and like to talk about political issues, but in the end I just want to have fun, meet new people and enjoy my time here. Or the other way around.

I'm Finnish so I might seem shy at first, but I really like meeting new people and can get even annoyingly talkative if you get to know me better. For the same reason I also appreciate tidiness and well-arranged plans and timetables. Then again, sometimes (especially when I'm travelling) I like to be impulsive and just go with the flow and not stress about anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet new, interesting and different people. When I travel, I can understand the culture a lot better if I get to know a local. I like to also talk to people about the Finnish way of life and help people coming to Finland.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have loved all of my couchsurfing experience. I've surfed a bit more than hosted.

Good food, movies, concerts. I love to party and have fun with friends and strangers. I don't have any real hobbies. Working for different student organizations in Helsinki keeps me quite busy for anything else. I do yoga or go running when I need to excercise.
