I'm Johanna, many of my friends call me Jo, and I'm a Finnish ex-pats living in Southern Spain with my Spanish husband and our toddler sun. We're about 15 min hike (hill!) from the beach and have a small apartment with space for 1 person on a comfy sofa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel! And also, as an ex-pat with ties to London and Helsinki, sometimes I need to hop on a plane for short visits to both cities.
