About Me

Yep, you guessed it: an easy-going person with a sense of humour and who gets along with almost everyone. Used to work in the IT industry, but switched to med school recently. Will be a dentist one day.

My home is currently under renovation, but there's still room fora surfer or three.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new, interesting people, hearing their stories and learning new things. I find the huge variety of human experiences fascinating and love to share a bit of my world with everyone.

Interests

Islay whisky (Ardbeg and Laphroaig, yummy!)
Lego (got some as a child, got lots now!)
Playing the piano
Video games (got an Xbox)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Sherlock Holmes stories, Philip Pullman, Ken Follett, Randall Munroe, almost anything well written.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took off from my day job, moved to Bali and learned to be a diving instructor. Didn't wear socks at all for 4 months straight that summer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be happy to teach you some Finnish language, piano and guitar playing, cooking, or even SCUBA diving or first aid if you have the time and we can gather up resources. Although I don't have my certification credentials anymore, I still know a thing or two.

Also, I can most probably tell you something you didn't know on whiskies, whether you consider yourself a seasoned barrel o'whisky or someone who never liked them. I'd suggest you give it a shot :)
