My name is Niina. I'm 33 years old and l live in Helsinki, Finland with my English partner and our daughter. We also have a cat called Kedi.

We're a small and easy going family. We enjoy getting to know people and making new friends. We live in Tapanila, Helsinki, and would be happy to welcome travellers to our place to cook together, play board games, have a Finnish sauna evening or just to have a cosy relaxed time together. We also have a car, so we could drive to a lake for a swim or go for a nature walk. We're currently not able to host overnight guests as our senior cat can't handle strangers sleeping in our sitting room.

We're interested in arts, languages, cultures, yoga, psychology, sexuality and so much more. We value freedom, health, equality and open mindedness. My partner Pattrik likes to make music and play guitar. I enjoy drawing and photography. I work in health care and I'm also doing a master's degree in University of Helsinki.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to share ideas, thoughts and experiences and to offer a free place to stay for travellers. Maybe we can learn something from each other and have a good time together!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of variety, and what I listen to or read about depends on my mood and interests at the time. I'm currently working on my master's thesis on maternal birth injury experiences and doing a lot of reading regarding that, and loving it!
