About Me

Hi! I'm a photojournalism student currently living in Tampere, Finland. I spend my life for example biking around, reading good novels, cooking vegetarian, swimming at mornings and photographing. Just now I'm doing my working holiday in New Zealand in November 2016-April 2017.

I love beautiful words and beautiful places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My biggest fear when travelling is that everything will feel meaningless, and I think couchsurfing is a good way to avoid that. I love meeting all kind of people and seeing everyday life when abroad, too.

Interests

Books, travelling, swimming, photographing, playing piano, wandering around, writing. I love having discussions about different cultures, religions, equality, politics and so on.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've been playing classical piano and cello since I was child, but nowadays I listen mainly to indie/rock style music. My absolute favourite singer is a Swedish singer called Jens Lekman and I love bands such as the xx, Beach House, air, the Cardigans and so on.

I like movies with a real story behind, like Schindler's list. On the other hand movies with a good feeling such as Moonrise Kingdom, Boyhood and Amelie are bewitching.

My favourite novel authors are Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Khaled Hosseini. Just now I'm reading George Orwell and Peter Hoeg. And I'm always ready for sharing jokes of Harry Potter world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Photographing on a refugee camp in Uganda was one of the greatest experiences I've had this far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to use your system camera, how to do beautiful braids for your hair, how to play piano and how to speak Finnish.
