About Me

I'm a 27 year-old gal from Finland living with my cat Mette in Helsinki. I grew up in Rovaniemi, Lapland.
I started traveling during my gap years and was an au pair in Italy. Since then I've enjoyed staying with local hosts and had lots of amazing encounters.
Just meeting up with travelers would be awesome as well. You might catch me anywhere between Helsinki and Lapland!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS has been a sick tool to travel and helps to get much more out of it! I like to spend time with the people I host/my hosts as much as possible and get to know them. Getting to see the local style of living at it's original source is such a brain food.

Interests

I'm into all kinds of sports but ice skating and basketball have a special place in my heart. Also wondering around nature, hiking and such are great!

Love arts, just unable to do them myself. That makes me appreciate those who can even more.
Im a journalist and have a love for writing and different cultures. A dream of mine would someday to be a foreign correspondent.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love anything live!

Movies that trigger me, tickle me, grose me out, make me question all I've ever known and sometimes just dumb shit that makes me laugh. I'm really into true crime and mysteries.

My book preferences are pretty similar with my taste of movies. I like weird, almost grose, educating, thrilling and anything that makes me think differently.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Bad jokes, weird stories, good time and glasses of wine.
