CURRENT MISSION

To go explore the world, meet amazing people, see cool places and learn new things.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 20-something girl from Finland, who loves travelling and meeting new people. You might have heard that us Finns are shy, cold and rude. We like drinking vodka, swearing and listening to black metal, while polar bears run on the streets in -35 degrees. We also spend half of our lives in sauna. Naturally, we all have blond hair, blue eyes and just LOVE singing karaoke. But at least Conan O’Brien likes us!

Fortunately, all you hear is rarely true. Let me break those stereotypes you might have about Finns, and you’ll see we’re really not too bad. I might seem a bit shy at first, but if you get to know me better, you'll see I'm actually quite nice, easy-going and jolly. :)

Though, I should probably add, that I'm not really a party animal, but rather enjoy just hanging out with people in cosy pubs while listening to some live music.

PHILOSOPHY

When you're happy, you enjoy the music
but when you're sad, you understand the lyrics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I can not accommodate anyone at the moment. But I might be up for a nice cup of tea or coffee? Or even better - some hot chocolate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling is always amazing and you get to meet new people and see cool places. Some of my best experiences have been while being on student exchange in Cork, Ireland and when living ang working in Lapland, Finland. It's amazing how different life can be somewhere else - and how much you still enjoy it! Life-changing experiences, is there anything better?

Also, I'm pretty much afraid of heights, but if I ever get to as far as New Zealand, I've promised to jump a benji!
