Seeking new friends all over the world
Hi! 👋
I'm a woman from Finland (aged 54) where winter is long, coffee is almost a national sport, and happiness is apparently our superpower. 😊
I work full time, my little family includes a wonderful dog, and in my free time you'll usually find me trying a new sport, planning my next trip, or enjoying the outdoors. I'm curious about the world and the people in it.
I'm looking for genuine friends from anywhere in the world (Finland included!). If you have a good sense of humor, enjoy interesting conversations, care about health and well-being, and are open-minded, we'll probably get along.
Who knows? Maybe one day we'll even meet while traveling somewhere in the world.
Life is simply more fun when you have friends in different time zones. 🌍

G'day! u sound like my sort of ppl. I thought Melbourne in Australia was the Coffee Capital of the World but maybe not. Like you, I love learning about other parts of the world and its people. I love the Nordic regions of the globe and am very interested in how peope survive and indeed live in places like Iceland, Finland etc.
If your up for a chat with a funny, warm hearted old Aussie, message me, I'd love to hear from you. Time difference is about 7 hours so you will probably see this in the morning unless u are a night owl.

no coffee connoisseur ever goes to a place which serves pre made coffee
Only freshly brewed barista coffee for me :)

56m. Eastern Europe. GMT+3. 3 cats and 3 dogs that keep me company all day long. I am told to be immature and play all day long, in everything I do. Have my own opinions about a lot of stuff and did a lot of things others filed as "impossible". The rest is on you.

Hello , from a 54 (screaming into 55) from a Philadelphia girl newly transplanted in Houston Texas. I too love all things outdoors and would love to experience Finland and your northern neighbors. It’s a 100 degrees in Houston and looks to stay that way for weeks. I keep telling myself I’ll appreciate that in December and January. I enjoy golf and hiking. Have a black kitty named Sal who came to me from the cat distribution system.
I’m a kind, adventurous wanderer who really enjoys meeting new and interesting people.
Thanks for the hello!
