About Me

Sorry, currently unable to host anybody for I'm looking for a place to rent myself! Just staying with a friend for the time-being.

I'm a 23-year-old Finn who loves to travel! I graduated from university last year and since then I've been travelling and working in the field. Now I have decided to kick back and enjoy a holiday interrailing through Europe before getting back in business with work. I'm an open-minded traveller and my friends describe me as brave, out-going and easy to be around with- kinda girl. I'm also curious and always eager to hear about different cultures and ways to live. Let's meet up and get to know each other! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in getting to know the locals so that the city I'm at gets more personal also for me! :) I'm new to couchsurfing and I'm super curious about it - when I was travelling in Italy and living with different people and families I found out that it's a lovely, exciting way to experience the culture and find the similarities in all of us around the world. I'm seeking more experiences like that!

Interests

  • cooking
  • baking
  • running

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm all for romantic comedies or action comedies - gotta have that sense of humour! Horror stories and thrillers are a definite no for me or else I'm gonna lose my beauty sleep. Favourite music includes pop music and some of my favourites are Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato. As a kid I used to read a lot but since university I've only been reading academic books. I'm easing back into reading with some lifestyle books, but maybe the most favourite one is a book of recipes to cook!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Released my apartment, packed my belongings and stuffed them in a warehouse, bought a plane ticket and explored Italy through volunteer working for 2 months!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm eager to share travelling experiences and to hear about your culture, favourite spots in town and what to do and not to do when in your territory! :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

Finnish culture and food, our nature and different seasons, typical habits and a way of living. I also carry typical finnish candy, salmiakki, with me everywhere I go - if you are brave enough to taste it, you can have it! I'm an easy-going guest, always looking for the bright side and searching for positives instead of negatives. I smile a lot, let's take a selfie? :D
