I live in Helsinki, and I love to show guests around the city whenever I have time. I balance two lives: 1) healthy and active and 2) going out for drinks or with friends. I love many things among them food above everything, meeting new people, exploring new cultures, doing fun things e.g. movies, cooking, pubs, games, art, talking about interesting things etc. I have been living in many countries and travelling to many more. I have been on cs for a long time so I know what it is to host and be hosted in a respectful and decent ways. I have many stories to share and I am interesting in meeting people who have something to tell or experience. If you are shy, it is ok, a little quiet does not hurt, I love relaxing too. I am the best at the extremes the chaos and calm times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet people, share ideas, learn new things, explore new places, host (in Helsinki) and be hosted. If you host me, I promise that I will respect your places, the rules, and the culture as well as be a genuinely good, clean, friendly and honest guest. I expect the same from my guests, and I know a thing or two about the good, the bad and the ugly on CS. I have been an active member for a long time!

Interests

I travel and coach. I coach and travel. Basically, I am invited to speak, mentor, or educate people about entrepreneurship, networking and pitching. I usually combine work with fun e.g. when visiting conferences. I also love to explore new places e.g. I walk around cities, I ask for introductions and also arrange many to friends and also anyone who asks (for work and social activities). So, feel free to ask me about any of the above mentioned points, I am always happy to help. If it is about fun, I am up for anything, extreme, mellow or both. I am curious about doing cool things with cool people, and within reason. I have tried different foods, climbed mountains, played funky tunes, explored exotic places, went to festivals, got lost in the moment, helped strangers for no particular reason than being it fun and adventurous and my favorite thing of all time is to inspire people to realize their dreams. You will get my attention if you tell me you have a dream, it would be the best way to start a conversation with anyone.

I will offer my time, knowledge and bubbly personality whenever needed. I am up for anything serious or fun, as long as it is within reason. I am a "Yes-Man" kinda guy and I am not afraid to say "No" when it is too weird. Lets have some good times and make awesome friendships.
