About Me

Ciao!! I’m a solo adventuress from Finland. I love getting to know people from around the world and hearing their stories. I enjoy discussing variable topics and I’m always willing to learn from others. I would describe myself as a lively, curious and positive person who’s in love with life and nature above all. 🌱

I’m going a little bit back and forth from Helsinki to Lapland and Italy but would be glad to host whenever at home 🙌🏼

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me traveling is not about how many places I visited but about the people I met and experiences I shared with them on the way. I’ve often been asked if I feel lonely while solo traveling but in fact it’s usually quite the opposite, thanks to all the kindness I got to experience from other people 💚

I’m hoping to meet open-minded locals and travels and to have more authentic experiences wherever I’m traveling to! I love the idea of sharing our homes with fellow travelers 🫶🏼

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some Finnish words or easy sentences to anyone brave enough to try my rather odd but cute language :-) Also happy to give any recommendations for those visiting my home country!

I love to learn about different cultures, to hear stories and exchange ideas. I’m currently learning Italian and Spanish 🇮🇹 🇪🇸
