THANK YOU
Laura
28 years
from Turku/Helsinki
lived in Colorado, Malaysia, Thailand and Crete
hobbies: running, climbing, gym
​motto: "You can get what you want, you just need to work hard for it"

"Laura is social, positive and open minded person who gets exited very easily and that is contagious. No surprise that she got someone to do something like this :-) She is always willing to try new things and when she decides to do something, nothing can make her change her mind. She will do whatever it takes to get what she wants, but sometimes she demands way too much of herself. She is strong by nature which helps her to handle different situations but sometimes she considers things bit too long. What worries is that she trusts people too much, I just don´t want to see her get disappointed or hurt. But I am sure she will do GREAT"

"Laura is small, strong and feisty. The amount of energy she has is unbelievable. She gets along with everybody and she is always good company. She definitely has her own mind and she is not afraid to bring it to public (I just hope she doesn´t get any trouble with this). She is the only person I know who can come up with an idea like this. I can only imagine what ideas comes to her mind during their expedition. "


Pippu
20 years
from Espoo/Helsinki
spent a year in Minnesota 2010-11
hobbies: running, gym, kickboxing
motto: "love the life you live, live the life you love"

"​There's nothing funnier than to make outrageous roadtrips with Pippu because she is always ready to go, even after 0 hours of sleep or in a blizzard.She doesn't mind if the only place to sleep is a car and there isn't any shower nearby. That's why this cycling trip and sleeping in a tent won't be a problem for her. She just enjoys it. I would give up after two days but there is no doubt that Pippu would do so. When she has decided something, she will do it!"

​"She is really social and has very many friends. One of her skills is to be able to do many things at once. She's always organizing a thing or two; ranging from afternoon hockey match to exchange students Christmas party, while working and studying. No one knows what keeps her going on 4 hours of sleep from one week to another.
Pippu is quite determined also. Once a goal is set, she doesn't really know when to let go. (even if the goal is to catch a frisbee by mouth). This can sometimes be a good thing, too. She will keep going through sweat and blood in sports to keep in shape."
