Hello, please notice I'm living the dream now guiding groups in Northern lights tours throughout rhe season, so I am hardly at home. If I'm there, I'll host gladly... But it's just a few times every year.

** PLEASE NOTICE BEFORE REQUESTING**
i do not LIVE IN Rovaniemi, but in Pyhatunturi, Pelkosenniemi, which is about 90 minutes drive from the city. If this still works for you, you are welcome to contact me. I am away from home quite often but you can try.

25.10.2019 - Have been living in Lapland for almost 2 years now! Things slowly fall in place. I am renting my own place in Pyhatunturi in Pyha-Luosto national park. I am working on my business as an aurora tour guide and all kinds of other initiatives I have. Travelling quite a bit and spending lots of time outside doing photography and shooting timelapse, but if I am around, you are welcome to spend some time in my home in the woods. It is quite the wilderness and the great spirit is here. It is a great place for hiking around in the national park or other winter activities, which I might be able to join. If you come in the winter then most likely there will be sessions of sauna with breaks for rolling in the snow naked.

There is a dog in the house, she is a 4.5 year old Husky-Labrador mix and she is both adventure loving and cuddly. There is another bed available and its a really nice place overall. I BBQ alot because I am on a carnivore diet, you can join or bring anything you want to cook here.

It is not so easy to get here with public transportation or hitchhiking, but let me know when you arrive and we may figure something out. If I must pick you up so you are not stuck in the snow then you can pay for gas..

10.01.2018 - So I followed my dream to become a landscape and night photographer. I packed my bags and moved to Lapland. I am out and about most of the time, travelling quite often to Norway and Sweden chasing the northern lights, so check in advance if I am there and please understand if plans change - of course you are welcome to join if you can participate in travel expenses. Also - Most people contact me hoping there is a bus or simple transportation to where I live - This is not the case, it is not most touristic area and closest bus station is about 45 minutes drive and lifts are scarce. It is an amazing winter wonderland though...

01.10.2015 - I live in Kibbutz Nahsolim right on the beach of Tel Dor nature reserve - maybe the most beautiful beach strip in Israel.
I live with Ozen My 1 year old Husky Lab mix - She is the perfect companion for walks on the beach or any other activity really.

Kind and helpful, loves to host,travel and to meet new people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When you couchsurf you get to help and meet other people who can share an authentic experience of the place you travel to, or bring new inspiration to the place you live in.

Interests

Either completely spontaneous or carefully planned adventures. I will usually have my camera and tripod with me and try to set up some long exposures or timelapses.
