ABOUT ME

I'm a Finn, born in Turku but living in Helsinki since 20 years. I love the freedom of independent travelling around this amazing place called planet Earth. My favorite sports are jogging and cycling. I spend most of my free time with my friends and family but on my holidays I love to travel as far away as possible. I especially love exploring wild nature but find different cultures interesting, too. My best trips so far have been a backpack trip to Bolivia and a overlanding truck trip to Botswana/Namibia/SA and my around the world trip that lasted a year in 2015-2016

As I get quite many requests I unfortunately cannot host everyone or not even give a personal reply but I try to reply yes / no to every request.

I expect guests to buy their own food.

PHILOSOPHY

"But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn't frighten me."
- Feynman -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host every now and then and I'm happy to show people around in Helsinki. When I'm traveling I'd love to find a couch to stay for a night.
