About Me

CURRENT MISSION

For the equal benefit of self and others.

ABOUT ME

An easy-going person who likes to travel when there is a chance for it. I'm here on this planet to learn more from people and teach them whatever seems beneficial. Advice in both directions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing, sometimes attending events

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Three one-night experiences. December 2012, Frankfurt. Very small apartment and 6 people were stuffed in there. They gave me good tips for next day's hitch-hiking towards Netherlands.
January 2014, Skellefteå and Umeå, Sweden. Great people with good stories. As a guest's gift I gave them lucky stones - success and love.
Lots of weekly meetings in Oulu where the couchsurfing community is strong. Also got many good friends through those meetings.
Most recent surfing was 4-night stay in April 2015, Vilnius (Lithuania).

I have hosted 12 nationalities from 4 continents.

Interests

The closest thing to my heart is the nature. Wandering, wondering, stargazing since 1997, photography. As for sports, my favorite ones are disc golf and cycling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: A great fan of Star Trek!

I listen to many kinds of music yet mostly electronic. Ambient and psytrance. Rock, classic, jazz and many others make me feel good too. Hip-hop ain't my favorites. But every genre has their share of gems and rubbish.

I don't read much of books. Sometimes there is a period when I get excited and then use all my free time for various themes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meteor shower of Leonids in 1999. Several hundred per hour. Many of them brighter than the moon and casting shadows.

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you want to know constellations in the sky? Any wonders of the space? What is that bright arc around the sun? Did you see something strange in the sky and want an explanation to it? I have lots of knowledge on that field.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Estonia, France, Germany, Lithuania, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey

Countries I’ve Lived In

Finland, Germany
