About Me

I am almost 25 years old Finnish girl. I have traveled a lot and I am planning on creating a career in travel industry. It really is my passion and I wish I could have a job that wouldn't even feel like work. :) I am traveling at the moment in New Zealand with my 27 years old boyfriend and we're also going to Australia in a couple of months. We have a dog back at home who I miss and who counts as a hobby of mine. My boyfriend plays hockey and disc golf and he's into any kind of sports.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been using Airbnb a lot, but sometimes you wonder if it would be different staying with someone from CouchSurfing, since they probably really want to meet different kinds of people and get to know them, and it's not about the money. I haven't had a possibility to host anyone yet, but when we get back from our travels this year, we definitely will, now that we live in a bigger apartment with my boyfriend.

Interests

Languages, different cultures, getting to know new people, dogs, music, snowboarding, etc.

I like to have a conversation about where you and I come from and how people from different backgrounds see the same things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Me and my boyfriend both listen to EDM mainly, but from great bands I have to mention Amaranthe and Five Finger Death Punch.

There are too many great movies: Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Crank... (yeah we like Jason Statham.) And Twelve Monkeys is good. We watch a lot of movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have to make it two. :) Graduating as a master of social sciences from the university and living abroad as well as traveling for months on the other side of the world without any certain plans.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything about Finland and something about Germany. I can teach you languages too and we can cook for you. My boyfriend is a better cook than me though. :) If you're into music, we can tell you about many great Finnish bands who you probably won't know.
