I'm based in Kuopio, a town by the lake in Finland. I enjoy simple things in life like good coffee and nice long talks but there's also a little adventurer in me. I'm an ambivert who loves having good company and meeting new people but can also be a little shy and quiet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On my travels I have received so much compassion, caring and kind-heartedness that I wanted to give something in return. I'm also enthusiastic on learning from other cultures and meeting new people. When I travel I want to see behind the surface and tourist crowds

Interests

Things I like: traveling, yoga, music, live concerts, summer festivals, movies, books, flea markets, wine, vegetarian food, sauna.. and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A couple of years ago I quit my job, sold my furniture and went backpacking to Asia on my own (and I'm planning on doing something similar again one day).

Teach, Learn, Share

I think meeting people from other cultures is always a learning experience. We can share our thoughts and stories. I'm usually working on weekdays but in my time off I can show you around in the town if you like.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My sincere enthusiasm on the local culture and who knows maybe a new friendship!
