I work as an art teacher in Naantali high school. I have two adult children and three cats.

I travel with my friend Tanja Soininen -- you can find her here, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a wonderful way to make friends with locals, and get to see a bit more of the authetic side of cities, not just what's on tourist maps.
I think I learn something from everyone I meet!
