About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and enjoy life and so on. I must be first to come up with this mission? :D

ABOUT ME

I'm a really tall guy from a warm and sunny city of Turku. Unfortunately I don't play basketball so much even though that might be the question I've heard the most in my life :D And unfortunately I lied a little bit when I said that Turku would be warm and sunny, that is true only a couple of months every year. It's more like cold and dark most of the year :( But still a great place to live in, at least during the summer!

I'm a quite spontanious person with an attitude of doing first and thinking afterwards. I think that humor is an good approach in most of the situations. It's really hard to get me angry :D

I hate scedules so I haven't often planned too much ahead, I just try to live as relaxed way as possible. I also hate mornings.. Despite of my way how I think that life is not so serious and so on I also want to understand how our world and society works and the issues we are facing. And different cultures are also interesting of course.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to live as stress free as possible. Everything is going to be fine eventually, there is no such a problem which cannot be solved. Enjoying life without thinking too much but still not forgetting to respect others is a good way of living!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll try to be available with my coach as much as possible for you who decide/(happen) to come to our beautiful city :D

Also interested in surfing myself when I'm able to travel again

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only positive experiences :)

Interests

Many kinds of sports from football to disc golf or anything, doing them and spectating also :D also interested in martial arts, chess, history, watching movies and TV-series, listening to music, reading sometimes, drinking and so on... And travelling of course which I think connects us all somehow :P

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer watching TV-series to movies mostly when I'm home without anything better to do and I have quite large collection of season box-sets. Scrubs, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, Supernatural, The Shield and great finnish travelprogram Madventures are my favourites to mention some.

The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club and LOTR-trilogy are some good movies which came to my mind :D random brainless horrormovies are also great to watch when you're in right mood

I used to listen to heavy/metal music a lot but lately I have broadened my taste of music to rock, reggae and some rap also. Finnish bands for example Stam1na, Ensiferum and Turisas are my favourites and I'm happy to introduce you to good finnish music :P

Nowadays if I read I'll probably read some history books or about some intresting current topics. Song of Fire and Ice by G.R.R Martin (game ot thrones tv-series is based on this if you know that one) is the best fantasy series written.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things I've done are probably my travels, 35 days Interrailing around Europe, 20 days around Balkans and now the latest 75 days in South-East Asia. I'm really looking forward to travel more!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the basics of chess if you don't know them yet or maybe give some tips how to win that annoying friend of yours who beats you badly every time you play! :D I have played quite a lot since I was really young. Also I'm able to help with basics of finnish if you are interested in learning this weird language.

I'm pathetic at cooking - only dish I can make without triggering a fire alarm is pasta with chicken sauce but unfortunately I'm getting little bit bored of it :< So I would appreciate if you can give me a recipe of some intresting new food which I might be able to make!
