About Me

ABOUT ME

I grew up in isolation from the rest of the world in a small town in Finnish Lapland. It was quiet, peaceful, surrounded by nature, and snow was on the ground for 7 or 8 months per year. I moved to a city far from home at age 16 because I wanted to see how life was somewhere else. I've been on the move since and currently live in the Finnish capital.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf and host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had only good hosts and good guests. Can't wait to meet more of them.

Interests

I've studied Russian language and sociology and currently work at my dream job.
I'm a feminist activist.
I have a huge love for Russia and post-USSR areas and they are my favorite travel destinations.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to art, I like it dark and/or minimalist.
My favorite writers include M. Ageyev and Sylvia Plath.
I love listening to doom metal and stoner. But I also have a secret love for Bulgarian chalga...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one? Lived in Russia and Bulgaria.
