CURRENT MISSION

outwit the system

ABOUT ME

Part architect. Part activist. Part amateur theatre guy. I grew up in a suburb that looked like lego blocks. I'm pretty social, for a finn at least. That's not all about me, but hey, a start. I want to be acceptant enough to be able to figure out as many and different people as possible, but i also want to remain idealistic enough not to sell my personal revolution short.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I host, I surf, I share. I'll bake you stuff.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started with the Hospitality Club a bunch of years ago (username atv, if the site's still there) and through these two networks have hosted and been hosted by a bunch of amazing people from all over the planet. CouchSurfing can go pretty superficial too which i don't exactly love. Luckily everything that used to be good with CS is pretty much still there if you look for it. Not a single bad experience so far!
