I'm an animal loving (I have a puppy), easy going, talkative person as far as I know. I'm from Vaasa, Finland but have lived around, more recently in PA, USA and Scotland, and am aware I love talking about the cultural differences between places I've lived, but also learning about other cultures (why I like CS).

I can be quite a nerd if you give me the chance, but can also hold a conversation about latest ice hockey news or the weather, whichever you prefer.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To meet local people when I'm traveling, I think we can all agree that it's so much more fun to have a local recommend what to see and where to have a pint.

Intereses

Animals, especially dogs. Traveling in Europe. Books. Cultures.

Weather. Like a good Finn, I can talk endlessly about it without getting bored. Might also be a side effect from working outdoors.

Música, películas y libros

I've usually watched all the latest movies, but love any recommendations as I'm always running out of movies to watch.

Any sci-fi/fantasy books really, I'm not very picky.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you about Finland and our weird ways. We are not technically Scandinavian and our language has nothing to do with Swedish. Google "Finnish Nightmares" comics and you'll get a pretty good idea what we're about.

I love card and board games so I'm always up for playing something new or teaching my games to you!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Travel stories, culture comparisons, Finnish language (very difficult, sorry), and Finnish chocolate. Stories from an American high school too if you're interested.
