About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Recruiting Penguins to take over the so called civilized world x)

ABOUT ME

Damn that I hate these personal description things. I'd like to say "Come and see", but..
Well I'm honest, a bit stuborn, ambivert person. I have a philosopher side or mood too. I'm straightforward, positively odd, sarcastic, calm and relaxed guy.

PHILOSOPHY

When the going gets weird, the weird turns pro.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I'm eager to meet new people so: I'm happy to give some of my time and of course my couch to fellow traveller. I also love to get some local contacts everytime I'm abroad (If I can).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a few surfer

Interests

Well, my job describes me as a beergeek (I love food too).
I also like bicycles, boardgames, hiking, camping, writing, reading and backbacking.
I'd say that: If I could, I'd just lay in my hammock drinking awesome beer, talking with my friends and maybe smoking some shisha.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music.. I love probably all styles, though I'm very picky about artists. From Jazz to Heavy metal, synth pop to salsa, eurodance to that weird indie stuff.
For movies it's darn hard to say. I enjoy classics, good animation, historical/real story movies. There needs to be something that touches me, topic that I'm interested or very genious dialogue, script and actors.
Books, hmmm. I kind of enjoy Hunter S. Thompson production and other Gonzo books, travel guides and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everytime when you think U have seen it all, the next wonder happens. So I really can't pick just one.
- Crazy Interrail without any pre-booked hotels/hostels/etc.
- Slept outside during Finnish winter in snow.
- Proposed my fiance in closed fortress which we sneaked in.
- Hiked a week in the woods.
- Cycled around the lake Saimaa.
- Seen northern lights
