Hi there!

I’m 23 years old man from Finland. I study medicine and pharmacy atm. I have a lot of hobbies and one of them is travelling.

Painting and sculpting skills are the things I would like to improve. Currently practicing them. I also do sports. I love running and going to the gym. I used to train karate for ten years and boxing and mma for one year.

Taking bachata and Afro dance lessons during spring as well.

I’m looking forward to meet new people and learn something new!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It offers a unique and rewarding experience that goes beyond traditional accommodation options.

Cultural Exchange: Interactions between hosts and travelers from diverse backgrounds provides a chance to learn about different cultures and traditions.

Authentic Travel Experience: By staying with a local host, travelers have the opportunity to see a destination through the eyes of a resident. This can lead to off-the-beaten-path discoveries, hidden gems, and a deeper understanding of the local lifestyle, which is often missed when staying in hotels or resorts.

Cost Savings: Couchsurfing is a budget-friendly option as it allows travelers to find free accommodation. By eliminating or significantly reducing the cost of lodging, travelers can allocate their funds towards other aspects of their trip, such as transportation or experiencing local attractions.

Socializing and Networking: Couchsurfing presents a platform to meet like-minded individuals and build friendships with people from around the world. Many hosts are open to spending time with their guests, providing insights into the local community, and engaging in various social activities together. This is probably the most important reason for me.

Local Advice and Recommendations: Hosts often provide valuable tips, recommendations, and insider knowledge about their city or region. This guidance helps travelers explore destinations more efficiently, ensuring they don't miss out on significant attractions or experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:

I like many types of music and I can listen to almost everything. My favourite genres are classical, pop, rap and movie soundtracks. I also listen to music in many different languages, almost all genres. I don’t enjoy heavy metal.

Movies:

Movies have always been a source of entertainment and a way to delve into different worlds. Personally, I find myself drawn to genres such as action, adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, documentaries, and comedies. Each genre offers a unique experience, allowing me to immerse myself in thrilling stories or enjoy a good laugh. Additionally, there are a few actors who have captured my attention with their talent: Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Dwayne Johnson, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Brad Pitt. Their performances have left a lasting impression on me.

"The Dark Knight," movie showcases the brilliance of Christopher Nolan's direction and features unforgettable performances by the late Heath Ledger as the Joker.
In the realm of adventure movies, no series comes close to the "Indiana Jones" franchise. These films, with their treasure hunts and archaeological quests, transport me to far-off lands filled with mystery and intrigue. Likewise, "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy takes me on an epic journey through Middle-earth, offering breathtaking landscapes and captivating storytelling.
For fans of sci-fi, one film that stands out is "Interstellar". Space exploration, time dilation, and the future of humanity. Love it. And of course, who can forget "The Matrix" trilogy? Its groundbreaking visual effects and philosophical narrative continue to captivate audiences.
When it comes to fantasy, the "Harry Potter" series holds a special place in my heart. These movies transport me to a world of magic, friendship, and adventure. Moreover, "The Chronicles of Narnia" series provides a delightful escape into a parallel universe filled with talking animals, enchanting landscapes, and epic battles. Similarly, "The Hobbit" trilogy brings to life J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved Middle-earth, inviting us to join Bilbo Baggins on his unexpected journey.
While I appreciate the escapism that fiction offers, I also find documentaries to be a valuable source of knowledge and insight.
Lastly, comedies provide a welcome respite from the intensity of other genres.

I’ve watched too many movies lol

Books:

Books have always held a special place in my heart, transporting me to different worlds and expanding my imagination. Among my favorite authors are Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells, Mikhail Bulgakov and Jack London

These authors have left an indelible mark on my literary journey, each with their unique storytelling abilities and captivating narratives. From Conan Doyle's deductions to Wells' imaginative visions, Bulgakov's unconventional tales, London's wilderness adventures, and Lewis' enchanting fantasy, their books continue to bring joy and inspiration to my reading experiences.

I’ve read many books, so we can always have interesting discussion about them.
