Lived my whole life in Helsinki, trying to keep up with the world but without stressing about it too much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To host and get hosted! (Read: want to meet new people)

Interests

Music, movies, books, sports ( i practice thaiboxing) and new people and places. Some of my best memories are just conversations.

Music, Movies, and Books

Watched shitloads of movies (used to work in the film institution of Finland), favorite director is probably Akira Kurosawa. Some favorite movies would include: The Holy Mountain, Le samourai, Apocalypse Now, City of God & Rashomon

Mostly listen to rock (everything from psychedelic to post-punk, new wave, weird 80s art pop, noise rock, shoegaze, post-rock, neo psychedelia etc..), but I also have a vast knowledge about hip hop. Getting into jazz, funk, soul and ambient atm.

Some favorite artists would include: Sonic youth, Can, XTC, Outkast, My bloody valentine, the fishmans, Wire, the Fall (yeah, im one of us 10 who loves that band), Velvet underground, Animal collective, Burial, Radiohead, Pixies, Flaming lips, Beatles, J Dilla, Madlib, the Rah band, Pavement, Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Virna Lindt, Marvin Gaye, John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor & about million more.

Read alot, cant say my favorite author but books of William S Burroughs and Jorge Borges have had the biggest impact on my life. Shout outs to Bolaño and Pynchon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Laid down in a snow cover watching the sky full of stars blurred by northern lights.

What I Can Share with Hosts
