Hey!!

My name is Katariina and I live in Oulu, Finland with my husband Rafael and golden retriever, Kukka. I'm 22 years old, Christian and I study horticulture. I love learning different languages and I'm very interested in cultures, including my own. I have a small horticulture business with my husband and I also enjoy gardening on my free time.

My hometown Oulu is located at the shores of the Gulf of Bothnia and it's a lovely mixture of sea, forests and city. The winters here are cold, dark and long but we can also see some awesome northern lights and enjoy the snowy season.

I'm very passionate about learning languages. I can speak Finnish, English and Portuguese quite fluently and I'm also quite good at Swedish (It's a little rusty tho!! Please help me with it!!!). I can also speak basic Spanish and a bit of Japanese in which I take classes now.

I also enjoy traveling, and I've been to these countries so far: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Turkey, South Korea, Japan and Brazil. I've also lived in Spain for about a year and a couple of months in Brazil.

And to finish writing my profile, here's a little list of things that I especially like. If you like some of them too it'd be great to talk about them: gardening, dogs and dog training/obedience, tea, classical music, piano, languages, maps, old things, animals, plants, nature, reading, libraries, travel, writing letters, walking in nature, berry picking, eco products and eco cosmetics, houseplants, bokashi composting, education, entrepreneurship, interior design, flea markets, Christianity, cooking, food culture around the world, violin, traditions, sauna, sports, tennis, ice skating, skiing, knitting, taking photos, Instagram, spending time with friends, Interpals, HelloTalk, baking, learning more about Finnish culture, sheep, cooking Brazilian dishes, streching, bullet journaling, farming, Finnish design, retro, botanical gardens, airports, train stations, Christian music, good laughs, going to church, books in different languages, sending anf receiving mail, my family.
Was that enough? I guess so!

Hauska tavata! (Nice to meet you!)
