About Me

I’ve been living and working in Helsinki for 4 years now and love connecting with Couchsurfers from all over 🤝 Whether you live here in Finland or are passing through, let’s link up for shared experiences, stories, laughs, and good times 🛋 🏄‍♂️ 👾 😃

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm grateful for my CS experiences while living in China in 2016, so I want to keep the ball rolling here in Finland by giving back.

Interests

I enjoy listening to people’s stories and listening to them explain what it's like to live where they come from. Big fan of golf, reading, and beer, too.

  • sauna

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m always up for doing fun and spontaneous things. Especially enjoying nature and doing cool shit outside. Sompasauna lovers hmu! ♨️

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually travel for work and thus don’t need CS hosts. But for guests or visitors coming to Finland, I can offer my time and advice on what to do in Helsinki. Usually am up to grab a beer, go for a stroll, or host if my schedule allows it.
