Description

Hi! :)
I'm Aino, I'm 19 years old and from Finland. I finished high school in spring at the German School of Helsinki, so now I am travelling the first time solo at a larger scale and I'm eager to learn a lot about other cultures! I grew up bilingually, my first language is German and second is Finnish. I also speak English and French. (Si tu parles le français comme langue maternelle, j'aimerais le parler avec toi parce que moi, j'adore le français et je veux le pratiquer le plus possible!) I've tried to learn a lot of other languages on Duolingo, too, though I wouldn't say I could speak them XD
I do photography since I was 11 years old. I usually do nature photography, but a few years ago, I also started doing portraits and I love it.
When there's time, I love baking and giving others a pleasure with it. Other hobbies of mine are scouting, taekwondo, pottery and playing piano. In summer I love sailing!
I'm looking forward to meeting you :)

More details about your skills

I love learning new skills. I already do a lot of handcrafts, for example I do crochet, sewing and knitting and stuff like that, but I also did 8 years of pottery (so I'm not afraid of getting dirty either). My family also owns a big garden, so I'm familiar with things to do there as well.
I also like to do things with wood and I think I'm pretty good with it. From pottery I've learned to paint cleanly (no motives but greater spaces of one colour).
I'd say that I'm pretty perfectionistic with things I do, so you don't have to fear that I wouldn't do something properly. And even though I might not be so experienced in some skills, I'd love to learn them and I think, I'm a pretty fast learner :)
Also, if you have kids in school and they have problems in maths or so, I might be able to help them. In school, I was often the personal tutor of my friends XD And they've said that I could explain pretty well.
And because I do photography, I could of course photograph you or anything like that!
