About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To (continue to) be happy. Trying to balance personal goals with my family life.

ABOUT ME

A bit of the introverted type, tenderhearted and eternally curious. Funny? At least trying to be. Childish, definitely.
Currently living with my Hungarian girlfriend Emese and our one year old son Sámuel. It's a package deal, but we're all great, I promise.
I've been working in the Finnish TV for a couple of years, while Emese is staying home, keeping Sámuel alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first experiences with Couchsurfing were back in 2012, when I surfed my way through Europe. Started hosting around 2014, but I've been on a long break, but we (my girlfriend and I) decided to start things up again, in this new decade. Maybe we'll surf again too, but for now we'd like to host people who need a place to stay.

I've had fun and met a lot of interesting people through Couchsurfing. Definitely enriched my life, broadened my horizons, although it can be socially exhausting for me too.

Interests

We love music, especially "old" rock. I've played guitar, still know somewhat how to do it.
Watching films and tv, for studying and for pleasure.
Writing my novel (or thinking about doing it).
Hanging out, travelling, experiencing new, listening, sharing.
Eating. Chocolate.
Just playing with our baby boy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Slowly going through Netflix and HBO, one series at a time. Loved Game of Thrones and Breaking Badiverse. Sometimes we just feel like watching sitcoms.

I love Bruce Springsteen, The Who, The Beatles, Neil Young. We both love classic heavy metal and rock, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, The Police.

Currently reading through books of Jo Nesbo, while also enjoying fantasy and historical novels, and slowly educating myself about literary classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hey, that's for you to find out.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Never be the smartest person in the room". I hope you have something to teach me, and I have something to teach you. I hope we can laugh together. Cooking and sharing stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Listening to great music. Playing guitar. Knowledge about storytelling. Playing games together. Cooking. Talking about anything, and walking outside for ages.
