About Me

I'm a Finnish guy who really loves to travel for many reasons, mostly seeing new places & meeting new people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think Couchsurfing is great, I have had some great experiences using it. It's amazing how much you can get to know a place you've never been in just a few days. Suddenly, you are taking part into the actual life of unknown place in a level so deep that is incredible :) I like to couchsurf a lot and I would like to do more hosting, but due to my unstable living circumstances it's a bit difficult at times. But always when I can, surfers are welcome to my place :)

Interests

I`m interested in everything that's fun and interesting or makes life better:) For the last year I've started again my teenage-hobby tennis, since I worked as a tennis coach for one season :) I also enjoy playing all sorts of group games, football, floorball, beanie Ice hockey, basketball, ping pong....you name it.

I also have kind of artistic or creative features, I've done rap , acting in theatre (especially improvisation) and lately I even tried doing stand up-comedy :)

I'm also into learning languages a lot, I got a new spark when I managed to learn a new language pretty well during my 5-month exchange in Spain and afterwards in Finland mostly practising Spanish with exchange students, gracias a todos :)

I also like reading, movies etc.

And of course.....travelling! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cycled 700km to northers part in Europe you can get by standard wheels. It was great to cycle in the middle of the mountains and the Arctic Sea, those serpentine roads and the downhills and uphills.

Well another mountain scene comes to my mind: we were interrailing in europe and went to northwest Switzerland and the Alps to hike with our poor equipments. Tried to conquer the top of Denz Du Midi mountain (3200m), and we got all the way to 2800m. At the moment we were pissed off, but afterwards again, some great memorys!

(so i guess im a mountain person, didnt know that before this date...)
