About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, live in different countries and meet awesome people on the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a guy from Finland who likes to travel and meet interesting people.

I have a master's in Engineering. During my studies I lived one year in Japan and half a year in South Korea, which gave me a chance to see how awesome the world is and how awesome people you can meet when you actually get out of your house.

I speak English, Japanese, Swedish and Finnish fluently. In Finland I work as a software designer, which is actually pretty sweet =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf couches and try to offer my couch to people in need of a place in Tampere, Finland.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just getting started in CS, but I have been traveling a lot and spent a lot of nights on friends' couches around the world.

Interests

Traveling (surprise!), games, good beer, gymnastics, weight lifting, Formula 1, building great software, nature, east Asia, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fiction and non-fiction, everything from Terry Pratchett, GRR Martin to Charles Bukowski to books on Software development, business literature and so on. I don't have nearly as much time to read these days as I would like to.
