Travel information

Description

I'm a 26-year-old kind and open-minded traveller from Finland. I've always loved to travel: it's amazing to get to learn new things from different cultures and places. Whether it's been an exchange year in Germany, volunteering in Kenya, visiting a friend in India or scuba diving in Indonesia, I've always learned something new. Meeting amazing people, seeing wonderful places and learning new about different cultures gives me the motivation to travel and explore 🌎.

I'm a psychology master's student and before doing a long internship and graduating in 2027, I would love to travel some more in 2026 and get to learn something new about the world, get to hear new stories and to just enjoy some time without having to stress about studies or work back in Finland. I'd love to do something different and to have a break from my every-day-life.

Many things in life bring me happiness, but here's a list of some of them: dancing💃, slow mornings, yoga🧘‍♀️, relaxed evenings with friends, hiking⛰️, hearing other people's life stories, my house plants and my small garden🌸, sun (we don't get to see sun too often here in Finland) and trying new foods🥘.

More details about your skills

I'm now studying psychology, which has given me a lot of perspectives of how to understand and how to interact with different people. Since high school I've worked as a group fitness instructor (zumba, different workouts, yoga) and as a personal assistant for people with disabilities. I have good interpersonal, communication and customer working skills. I'm very organized but don't get stressed if things don't go according to the plan, I'm good at keeping calm and solving problems. I'm not afraid of physical work (I've mixed some cement and carried bricks under the Kenyan sun – and that was fun).

I'm very motivated to learn new things and skills :)
