Hi! I'm Johnny, a 26 year old graphic designer from Finland, currently on exchange in Japan. Things I am interested in include art, science and technology, concept design, music, animation, games, movies, manga, martial arts and philosophy to just name a few.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet interesting people and see different points of view.

Interests

There are too many! I whish I could live for a thousand years or more, just to be able to do and learn about all of this stuff. The unfortunate thing is that some things can only be learned and understood with a lifetime of study.
