About Me

Terve =)

Over the years, I volunteered across Europe for more than 4 years — that's how I visited Finland for the first time and fell in love with the country and its people. Now, I’m back here again on a new journey: after leaving my job in the Netherlands, I came to Finland to travel and look for new opportunities. I hope to settle here one day and even dream of buying a small house in Lapland.

I enjoy nature, hitchhiking, peaceful places, and meaningful conversations. I'm also planning to learn Finnish — I really love how it sounds and enjoy Finnish music too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My love for travel, adventure, and real human connection. Couchsurfing has helped me meet incredible people and have unique experiences — and I want to keep that going.

Interests

I always love to try or learn something new. Whether it’s through travel, music, books, or talking to strangers, I’m curious about the world and its people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to anything that’s made with heart and quality. Around half of my playlist is heavy stuff, but I enjoy lots of different styles too.

Movies: I love good dramas, biographical films, historical stories, thrillers, comedies, and meaningful documentaries.

Books: I often read light and simple books before bedtime — but not always. Sometimes deeper ones sneak in too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Murmansk - Lisbon - Hitchhiking [21,500 km]

Teach, Learn, Share

If I can help — I will help! :)

I enjoy sharing stories, experiences, and small things that make life interesting. I’m happy to teach or learn anything new along the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from the road, offer help with anything you might need, cook a meal together, or just bring a positive vibe and good conversation. I'm always respectful and curious to learn from others.
