About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I live in a small town in Finland and would love to meet travelers who are exploring Finland or just on their way to Lapland or down South.

ABOUT ME

I am 37 years old woman who loves travelling and meeting new people from all over the world. I love experiencing new things and to get know new cultures. I am vegetarian and do value good and healthy food. I have studied photographing, interior and furniture designing and the latest product designing. I work fulltime as a designer in a local fairtrade company but also doing freelance designing from home.

My joy of life are my family and friends, travelling and getting know new cultures. In every holiday I try to explore different countries and cultures. I am really outgoing person and get bored really easily so I spend time with my friends as much as possible having braai or just exploring new things.

I also love exercising and have to do something at least 4 days in a week. I love hiking and we do have some most amazing places here to do beautiful hikes. Not a quick hiker tho. I love more walking slowly, stop every once in a while and enjoy the beautiful views and take pictures. So if you are a quick hiker, I am not the best company :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am really interested of hosting people but at the moment when I am working fulltime I am busy during week days so only able to host during weekends. I also get quite a lot of requests so I would appreciate if you would go through my profile and see if we have anything in common as my place is just not a free place to stay, it is also a friendly place to get to know each others and change thoughts. So if I don´t see you doing any effort going through my profile I am sorry, I won´t host you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I discovered couchsurfing 2012 and this is the best thing I have ever done. It´s a great way to meet awesome people, which I have done and to get know their cultures and get some advices during travelling.

Interests

I am interested of travelling (did I mention that already), to meet new people (I am always participating some weird events to meet new people), educate myself more and going out with my friends to have a coffee or exploring Swaziland.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music I do love! From indie folk to electronic music to all sorts of music.
Books I don´t read that much (I would love to tho) but the last book I did read, Just kids from Patti Smith, I did love! It was so so good and could not stop reading it. Might be also because I love Patti Smith´s music so much :D

Movies.. so many good ones. But absolutely one of the best ones has been French movie called The Intouchables. Ultimately one of the top 5 movies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- World highest bridge bungee 216m from Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa.

- The longest commercially operated single-drop abseil 204m down the Maletsunyane waterfall in Lesotho.
