About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life

ABOUT ME

Currently I am living in Finland, doing my PhD in spectral imaging and color science. Some how, I guess I am stretching my life experiences so that I still have hobbies, interests and activities ranging from people in their thirties to basically teenagers. So I guess at the end I will run out of time to experience being old!

PHILOSOPHY

The way society is, is only one possibility. It could be many other ways. I can think of a few, and its one of my favorites to talk about it with friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I usually travel at least couple of times per year. Although I usually prefer a hostel, but yet I have visited many people from the community and drank a coffee or a beer with them. I also enjoy having guest at my couch and I try to help them enjoy their stay as much as it's in my power.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted few times, and I loved it. Also, I have host people for quite many times. It was amazing to see people who are totally strangers to you and living in far away places, and then they turn out to be very close in one way or another.

Interests

Juggling is my favorite hobby. I usually do it to empty my brain of all thoughts. Jogging is also a another thing I love. My cooper test is 2.75km now. I also like to do my first Marathon some time soon. Other than these, organizing parties with friends, movies, board games, and doing face-paint are among my interests.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you basic Juggling. Also swimming, programming in Matlab, and playing Warcraft or Dota. And also I can teach you what ever you want to know about how colors are produced and perceived in brain. I like to learn about peoples limits and fears, and I like to hear anything worth sharing about life experiences.
