About Me

Hey!

I'm a traveling writer getting a little fresh air in new places, trying to see life from different perspectives than the narrow cultural limits of my native country. I used to be shy like most Finnish people, but traveling and meeting people from different cultures has helped me overcome that :) So it's also a personal, spiritual travel I'll be undertaking.

Couchsurfing has always been a fantastic way for me to meet different people around the world instead of just getting through with the usual tourist-rituals. A big thanks and respect to the whole community! I hope to meet and learn from you guys in the future as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not only to find accommodation but also to meet people and learn new things about new countries, because when you meet the locals you get a completely different insight into the country instead of just hostel-hopping!
