CURRENT MISSION

Dreaming big, aiming high and not getting up from the couch.

ABOUT ME

I am a tall, dark haired stranger with an open mind, endless daydreams and lots of free time. I tend to be extremely sarcastic at times, but I try not to annoy anyone too much. Some parts of me match the stereotype of a Finnish bloke, but it'll be your job to figure them out.

I'm studying in Lahti University of Applied Sciences to become a software engineer and working a little at the same time.

I am currently living in the town with my girlfriend, but I've spent most of my years living in the "countryside". You might get a chance to see and/or experience some not so common traditions and activities, if you happen to visit at an suitable time.

PHILOSOPHY

Be fair, honest and try to live in the moment. Enjoy the little things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by giving a place to stay. I am hoping that in the future the tables turn around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am "pretty new" to couchsurfing, so far I have only hosted. I haven't yet managed to get off my lazy ass and and actually travel the world. I'm hoping the future looks different.

Interests

Seeing new places, movies and of course things that take me out of my "comfort-zone".

• folklore
• movies
• traveling
• canoeing
• kayaking
• engineering
• software

Music, Movies, and Books

Books
LOTR, The Hobbit, the Millenium series, Sinuhe the Egyptian, Mikael Karvajalka, Mikael Hakim, A Song of Ice and Fire

Movies
The list would be too damn long if I wanted to list good movies, but I generally prefer movies that actually get your brain running a bit.

Shows
_TOO_DAMN_MANY_ ... I require more hours in my days, 24 just doesn't do it.

Music
I hate to say the cliche, but anything that sounds good. From classical to heavy metal to rap. Not so much rap.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I did what is now a tradition: a two (now three) day canoe/kayak trip in and around Päijänne's waters.
