Hello there, I am based in Helsinki, Finland. Currently working full-time as a software developer. I try to get out and travel the world every chance I get!

I'm quite the independent type and lean introverted. That being said, I love good conversation about various topics and love to listen to different perspectives on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for new ways to travel that are more than just ticking the boxes and seeing the famous sights. I'd love to meet new people on my journeys and share experiences and views on life. Maybe even make some international friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I love movies with unconventional plots and characters. Some movies I like are Lost in Translation, The Shawshank Redemption, The Matrix, stuff from Tarantino, e.g. Pulp Fiction, The Hateful Eight, stuff from Wes Anderson, and Mission Impossible (the first one)

I also love to watch documentaries and travel-related YouTube channels.

Books: I'm not admittedly not much of a reader. Lately I've been reading a coffee table book on Ancient Egypt.

Music: I'm kind of "all-rounder", not a huge fan of any genre but like to play it by ear. Things I like are: rock classics, pop from 90s, movie music, Japanese city pop, Finnish schlagermusik, Kraftwerk, Santana, Antonio Carlos Jobim etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Egypt for one month in 2023 and had blast. I got to finally see the Pyramids which I had always dreamt of!
