"We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us". Im a small town girl, enjoying life in my small log house in the forest, with my cats. I'm a social worker by day, work out instructor by night. I spend my free time in my kitchen garden, wandering around in the forest, picking berries and mushrooms, or skiing on the surrounding fields. Every now and then I take a break from my simple life in Finland, and travel; to get perspective, to wake up, and to meet new people and experience life in new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
