About Me

I'm young man from Central Finland. I'm new to actual travelling but I have done many tourist travels with my family. Nowadays I have no interest in regular tourist travels. I want to go places where you can't find any tourists, but locals and get to know them. I prefer travelling alone, because that way I have so much more freedom but also I have to be more responsible. And that way I will grow as a person.
Sometimes I'm shy and introvert but when I get really comfortable with someone I might do some really crazy shit. In a good way. Probably.
I think that travelling is the best thing you can spend your money to (also without it). I have been dreaming of travelling around the since I was a small kid. I used to have this pc game where you could learn about different countries. I was hooked already as a kid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to try out budget travelling, because it is the best way to travel, meet new people and to get known to place I'm visiting. I'm also happy to take fellow couchsurfers under my roof, if I'm able and show you some good places I know.

Interests

First things first. I love nature and everything about it. I've done several hikes in Scandinavia . I'm dreaming of walking the Pacific crest trail and that is something I will most definitely do.
I'm also into many kind of sports. Crossfit, climbing and yoga are especially near my heart. And when I said that I love doing "crazy shit" with the right people... Me and and two of my good friends have participated in a competition where you get points by just having fun and being crazy. Things like vomiting, hiking(in the swamps), beating each other, forbidding every camping gear that is made in Sweden (which is like 50% in the market) are included. And nothing is funny eri than that.
Also I love meeting new people from different cultures. There are so many things you can learn from those people which can also lead to deep and interesting conversations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1.I went to Bali for two weeks alone. I know it sounds bit lame, but it was propably the best thing I've ever done. It was then when I got bitten by a travel bug and now I have enough confidence to go where ever I want and it feels so awesome.
2. I hitch hiked from Finland to Spain, I walked 800 km to Santiago and hitch hiked back home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you anything I know Finland. And probably lots and lots of more but it will happen when it happens.
I am willing to learn about your culture and anything else you are willing to share with me.
I can share with you some awesome moments that you will never forget and probably some really dark jokes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a goal to have as fun and awesome time as I can. I can't guarantee you I will succeed every time but I will try my best. What I can guarantee is I have a good manners so you don't have to worry about any bad surprises.
We will have good time or learn something new.
