About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for the my thing. Looking for the place.

ABOUT ME

I'm a social guy from Finland. I like living in Helsinki but my heart was stolen many many years ago. It was love at first sight. It was Italy.
I love traveling, meeting new friends, getting new experiences.
My greatest interests are in culture. I love to read. I love to see films. I love to see theater plays and operas. I enjoy botanical gardens. Gardens in general. I love food. Italian food especially. I love to bake sweet pastries and cakes. Invite my friends over for a cup of coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mostly look for a couch. My flat is rather small but in cases of emergency I may be able to accommodate people.
However, I am willing to show my city whenever you are in need of a guide or company just to hang around or for a cup of coffee.
