ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm a enthusiastic person who gets involved with people and interesting phenomenons. At the moment I'm finishing my masters degree in Technical university in the field of mechanical engineering. Lately I've combined interests and studies while learning about 3D-printing. I'like to dwell in philosophical topics such as consiousness, action motives and values and other natural phenomena. Not forgetting to have fun while at it. - One of the most descriptive conversation of such I had from immunology at aeroplane before parachute jump :p
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing offers a real opportunity to meet actually local people while travelling. If going as a tourist you'll get a standard given image from a country, but when meeting locals you're able to see how is life going, feel how the normal life goes (in Finnish there are a word for it called "arki") and most of all listen stories from peoples lives.
Experience:
I've participated to the CS like culture since 1997 while accommodating students in our home via charity associations or student exchange. This was a great way to get an international experience without going out of the home. Students were from: USA, Poland, Canada, Estonia, France and New Zeland
Then I lived similar way at two different homes during my student exhange at St.Petersburg Russia 2013 autumn.
