About Me

I love travelling, educational things (especially tech education), web development and good food.

I'm from Finland and lived a year in San Francisco, US and this fall I'll be travelling around Europe coaching and organizing Rails Girls (http://railsgirls.com) events to empower young women in technology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new, local people all around instead of just sleeping in a hotel.

Interests

I'm mostly interested in education and technology. Whatever time is left, I enjoy spending it playing table top games (board games) with my friends, participating startup events and playing table hockey.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Douglas Adams' books, also I read comics and watch a lot of movies (action, comedy, anime, nothing too scary).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived for a year in San Francisco during my internship in a local startup - it was incredible in every way possible to imagine. It was also my first time living abroad which made it extra exciting.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can crack a joke or two or sink into discussions about anything.
