About Me

Hey hey! IT guy here, running a small company, and developing games. Currently studying Japanese language again and planning to visit Japan this October for the first time!

Generally fun person, I guess, I just tend to be self-critical and not say so much if the subject is not so interesting (or rather, if I think what I have to say is not so interesting XD). Others say that I am good at talking and can even 'break the ice', though, so I don't know.

I like activities in general, so if you have any suggestions while I visit or you visit me do tell! Maybe tell me a bit before tho, so I don't have anything already planned!

I like culture, music, art, languages in general, and politics impacting many people (poverty, environment) are important to me.

I know many languages, at least some words. Studied 4.5 years of spanish but forgot much of it. Can understand and speak simple french after my semester there. Studied some Japanese earlier at uni, and studied some Finnish and Russian while in Finland 2016. Studied Chinese Mandarin for a year and went there in 2018, so that's a thing as well :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now: Had some great experiences surfing with hosts, as well as hosting some surfers!

Before: Because I've heard good stories of people getting new friends and having a good time, also I would prefer meeting and getting to know new people or families in other countries, not just look around as stereotypical tourists (although I of course do that as well).

Interests

Gaming, music (composition, playing piano, singing, listening), art, museums, parks and nature in general (I like going for walks). Badminton!

  • music
  • history
  • games
  • castles
  • history and culture

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learnt to both paint and compose some music? Not the best, but eh.. :P also learning to play like 5-6 songs on piano on the first year I started learning it :D

It's never too late to try something new!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Language and stories, I also like to bake or cook once a blue moon, but it depends a bit on how much time is available, getting ingredients, etc.

Singing, karaoke or playing some instrument.
I got a full set of Rock Band ready with all instruments!

China, Japan

Finland, France, Germany, India, Sweden, United Kingdom
