About Me

ABOUT ME

"Then when" -man waiting for enough courage to dump rest of the meaningless traditions, given ways to think and stuff that should never been bought in way to start live own life fully.

PHILOSOPHY

Still seeking for my great mission here on Earth. Anyway, I find it hard to believe it's the one described in Trainspotting ("Choose life. Choose a job..."). I would like to manage to unchain myself from daily routines and expectations other people make.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted few years. Visited only two hosts so far but planning to do more in the future. Always nice to meet new people all around the world.

Interests

Computers, board games, literature, music, movies, geocaching, sitcoms.

  • literature
  • poetry
  • movies
  • board games
  • music

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen almost every kind of music and it is nice to find new artists. Mostly I listen rock music but there's not many genres I couldn't ever listen to. I listen a lot of Finnish music but some artists you might also know I like to listen to are for example U2, Muse, Queen, Johnny Cash, Nancy Sinatra, Dropkick Murphys, ... (just of the top off my mind).

I like good movies. IMDB rating usually follows the ones I would give myself (not always), and I like many genres in movies as well. Usually drama as a genre works best but there is hits and misses in every genre. There's a list of some movies I've liked (not in any order): Amelie, Butterfly Effect, Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Incendies, Forrest Gump, Leon, La vita é bella, Green Mile, ...

I like to read books whenever I have time. I've liked for example J. R. R. Tolkien, G. R. R. Martin, Jeffrey Eugenides, Väinö Linna, Jack London and Erlend Loe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Tanzania was pretty cool :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have work-related knowledge of computers and programming. In literature, music and movies I have lot of opinnions and some facts and quotes may be somewhere in my inner hard drive. I have also written some poetry and fiction stories myself, mostly in Finnish though. I would like to share interesting world of board games and geocaching with any one who's interested.

What I Can Share with Hosts

With hosts I can share at least some stories and Finnish language if wanted. I would not mind buying the host a drink or cook together something to eat (I'm not a master chef but I like to cook food though).

Countries I’ve Visited

Denmark, England, Estonia, France, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tanzania

Countries I’ve Lived In
