About Me

I love to meet new people! The best thing in meeting new people is that every new person teaches you something about the world.

I like to cook, bake and do outdoor sports (especially sailing with my family and my new interest is hiking). I love good food and wine. I like to go out with friends, for couple of drinks or to have a coffee. I'm not a real "party girl" but when I'm in mood, I like to dance on tables ;) Normally, I prefer pubs, bars or french brasseries, not nightclubs.

Basically, I am a sensitive and a romantic person. I love to wander around the cities, sit in a cafeteria and wonder what is life and love all about. I love to spend time out hanging around in some park but when it gets cold, I love to be inside, having a glass of wine or tea and eating cheese or bakeries.

I've always loved travelling, especially after my 2 month backpacking in Asia. I've discovered that the world is at the same time so small and so big (too many places to visit!). I like new adventures and people with who I can break my boundries!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about CS from a friend few years ago, but I haven't been very active while living in Finland because I wasn't able to host anybody. But living abroad has taught me, that you can be active in CS with so many other things than just hosting!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the most amazing landscape while trekking in Northern Thailand!

Heart-stopping view when sailing in the coasts of Finland. Thousands of small islands!

Moved to Belgium to study, with a one month notice. For me, an organized planner it was a pretty big deal ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope you can teach me something about your language and culture, because I really love to dive in to new things and cultures! I can teach you something in Finnish (or other languages I know) so you can join our small population and know how to speak our language that really no one else speaks! ;)

And I am always greatful to learn new recepies!
