ABOUT ME

This Culture Citizen loves calm, relaxed wandering, and sharing experiences about life with respect. Last 10 years I've started to live the music, but I consume all arts from contemporary sculpture to poetry at ease. I'm an open person, straight with words: definitely a sincere Finnish character. I play the bass in some bands and sing and do some violin and flutes. I'm a Monk from Outer Space who does Mental Aikido, a sentimentalist and a philosopher, the pacifist statue who smiles through everything.

I used to work and study in computer field. In fact I still make websites, if the work goes to some ethical cause. Suggestions for Wordpress/Drupal -projects appreciated. However, if you meet me, you'll wonder, where's the nerd computer scientist hidden - does it even exist? Since 2000 I've spend lot of time with music, street performances, clownery, and various dancing styles. Result is a mixture of calmness, and occasional blooms of creative, even erratic behaviour.

Note: By accident, my CS-nickname Kuukumina happens to be the name of a very nice Finnish band that plays Cuban music. I'm not related to this group! But check them out, because they are muy bueno: http://www.myspace.com/kuukumina

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you like. Love the people, people are good. You make mistakes, we all make mistakes, it is OK and funny to be stupid, we all are stupid, funny, and OK.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

3 years ago I did some travelling, and soon will do some more. I finally found a good house, and I can host and meet new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was travelling in Russia, Morocco and Southern Europe. The CS people that have shown me so many things. I'm really thankful!

At the city of Tampere, I've lived for 10 years, I know quite a bit... It's nice to meet tourists/travellers and help people out.
