Hi, I’m Saku :) that’s Finnish for something biblical, Japanese for ”to bloom” 🌸

I’m originally from Finland, but been living in the Hague since 2023. I’m happy to host every now and then so feel free to send me a request :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have traveled alot and my amazing experiences are largely thanks to the amazing people I’ve met along the way. I hope to give back to the community by hosting people at my place when I can.

Interests

languages, hitchhiking, meditation, running, bouldering, chess, veganism…

I’m a very curious person with a lot of interests, I love to learn new things so I’m happy to hear about your interests, whatever they might be!

Teach, Learn, Share

languages! I can speak a few and I’d always be down to teach basics of any of them or just practice speaking. Would love to learn basically any language you can teach me!
