Hi there! I'm Freywar, originally from Russia but now living in Finland for the past 10 years. I work as a software developer for a small medical company. I'm passionate about history and technology, and I love exploring places rich in industrial and historical artifacts.

My friends would probably describe me as a bit of a tech nerd with a quirky sense of humor. I enjoy IT and have a fondness for silly jokes. I'm currently focus on my work and health mainly, but I find joy in biking and have a strong interest in historical artifacts and video games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new friends and create meaningful connections. Couchsurfing offers a unique way to travel affordably and meet interesting people from all over the world.

Interests

I have a road bike that I ride to work and take on longer rides every other weekend. This year, I participated in a 134km group ride and I'm training for a 160km ride in August. I used to practice Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), specifically Italian longsword, and I'm hoping to get back into it. I also have a piano and a guitar, though I haven't practiced since I left my university band.
