CURRENT MISSION

Explore Europe and then the whole world

ABOUT ME

We at the early phase of living in Finland, with my girlfriend who is not on CS but u can find her on Facebook or Vkontakte, her name is hidden somewhere in this profile :)

I have finished university this February (finally..), and now I work as computer programmer.

PHILOSOPHY

I have two huge plans in my life, I don't mind if they will never be completed, but I would like to work on them :)

First is to run a real budget ground transport company in Europe, alternative not to flight or train, more like to hitchhiking or walking :)

Second is to build my future house legally from only freely available materials and with designing myself. This is probably the easier. :)

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Having 2 hours of running in the dark after getting lost in a national park in Lapland, Finland without a lamp - we finally arrived to a cottage in the middle of the forest. That was really nice.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

If u travel to Lapland with normal ticket or interrail, let's stay at dog compartment, it's huge and comfortable, the only place where u can sleep on 3 seats next to each other. Also u can meet nice dogs, but they sleep on floor...

In Finland in every city there are a lot of student restaurants, even if u r not Finnish student u can eat for a good price. If so, u get very good price. In Tampere look: juvenes.fi.

Hitchhiking is Finland is not easy mainly because of the low population density, prepare a B-plan always (train, etc.).

Tea heals your body and your soul in the cold Finnish winter, and also any other time! And much cheaper then alcohol!

I don't write here how to cheat on the local bus, but I can tell u personally :)
