I’m Maija, a 21-year-old originally from Tampere, Finland but currently living in Torino, Italy as an au pair. I love nature, historical places, languages and meeting new like-minded people. I also love travelling, especially when it’s cheap.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want new experiences! Now that life here in Italy is pretty normal, I need something more. Getting to know new people in the process doesn’t sound too bad either.

Interests

It’s funny how at first I thought I didn’t have any - turns out there’s many. I’m interested in changing my lifestyle to be more sustainable, the environment, nature, photography (”normal” and instant), plants (my future apartment is going to be a giant jungle), exotic animals and socializing with lovely people.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite book right now is my entrance exam book that I should read a lot more than I really am.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited a water temple and a Shaman in Bali🌴

Teach, Learn, Share

I could talk about languages for hours. I have a lot to say, and I’d say it’s interesting at least 42% of the time. I want to learn languages, history and fun facts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully laughter!
