Hi/Hei! I'm Andrew, living in Finland as a grad student at Aalto University. I love taking spontaneous trips to meet new people, cook with new friends, and explore new cultures. In my free time, I love to be outside in nature bicycling or hiking, and end the day warming up in Finnish sauna and cool down with cold swims.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam in the Amazon river. Amazing, but I'll never do it again.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook great food (my mom is a chef). I also used to work in a restaurant kitchen. I have many thrilling adventure travel stories to tell, from the 55 countries I've visited, and 8 of which I lived in. I am also great with kids - I used to be a teacher, and I was a "nanny" for years for a family in my neighborhood during high school.
