Hi! I'm a media artist from Helsinki, Finland. I travel quite a lot, primarely by train, I haven't flown for nearly 10 years, slow traveling is really interesting.

I will try to host people when possible, but I'm always open to show you around the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When traveling, for me the most important is to get to know local people and see the city etc from the ground level. I'm not so interested in most of the "normal" tourist spots, but more into having a beer at the local bar, or a dinner at some nice local place.

As a host, I hope to show you my city, which I love a lot, and of which I'm very proud of.

I'll be traveling to and around South Korea and Japan in the spring and summer of 2017.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know Helsinki inside out and have been apart of a few cultural organizations, eg. Bermuda Helsinki (www.bermudahelsinki.com), which made possible for people to arrange their own cultural grassroots events, and Unknown Cargo (www.unknowncargo.com), an art gallery, which reveals its artists only after the exhibition.
