Hi, I am a very cultural, nature and broad minded person. I am both a scientist (doctor in art history) and an artist. I am a mimplayer (formed in the Mimestudio), a writer (plays, novels, short stories, scripts), director (plays) and I recently started to dance. I am also a loving and devoted single daddy. I like to travel, in the time I don't have my son Seppo but also when I have him. I like to experience local culture and learn from locals...but I am also an independent person, I can travel on my own and give space. My hosts on Airbnb have described me as very polite, considerate, respectful and Always cheerful, loving to laugh, to eat and drink local specialties

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I would like to make contact with locals and experience their culture. They can give more information where to go, to give information that is no travel guide...I am new on couchsurfing, but a good friend of mine, a film director, had good experiences with Couchsurfing...so I guess I want to give it a go. As a single daddy, an artist I don't have a big wallet, so I am looking for creative ways to still travel and discover the world, without hurting the situation back home.

I am a storyteller :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Becoming a dad - I think that is pretty amazing, nothing can beat that.
