Where do I begin ... I am in the process of pursuing my life's biggest dream thus far .. traveling to Finland to meet my family that I have never met <3 I am an Adventurer, Dreamer, Optimist, Nature Lover, and Abstract Photographer. I love life. I am obsessed with Scandinavian Design and Architecture. I think it is so pure and beautiful and I want to live where I can learn. I just graduated University and want to do something for myself, by traveling and exploring the world. I am an extremely outgoing person with an eccentric and bubbly personality! I often like to talk way too much but know when to keep my mouth shut.

I have moved 6 times but have lived in Canada my whole life so YES I am used to very cold temperatures. I LOVE being silly and I think there is a hampster in a hampster wheel inside my head sometimes ... I LOVE food and enjoy cooking, it is very therapeutic for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for a safe place to stay while I explore and learn about my culture and country while being in Finland. I am a 3rd generation Finnish-Canadian. I am looking forward to trying the Couch Surfing Experience so I can be a host when I return to Canada. :)

I am also looking to meet new, kind people and hopefully create some lifelong friendships and connections from around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love anything that has a good beat and something I can dance too! I have taken dance lessons my whole life including Ukrainian, Ballet, HipHop, Jazz, and Latin.

I am just starting to get back into reading books as being in University for 5 years ruined that for me lol.
