About Me

ABOUT ME

I was born in South-East of Finland in a small industrial town Anjalankoski which is nowadays a part of a bigger city, Kouvola.

I have studied in Turku (Uni of Turku) and abroad (Gothenburg and Dublin), mainly social sciences, then also studied further (education & special needs education).

I like travelling by own car, which is one of my main hobbies. I'm also interested in politics and society in general, sports...

PHILOSOPHY

It is not very clear yet. I think I'm kind of finding my self step by step.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this stage I start (early April -11) by joining. Probably interested in couch surfing abroad. I'm also interested in accomodating those travelling in SW of Finland.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had some extraordinary experiences (outside CS) like one in 2007 when I picked a hitch-hiker in a rain in north of Republic of Ireland. The guy was trying to find a solidarity camp of Shell to sea group (protesting that a finery should stay on sea instead of mainland).

We found it after asking locals, and I accomodated in a big tent of the group. It was a different experienc to wake up to the sound of the cows very next to us in the field.
