About Me

A Finnish guy who wants to enjoy life and learn about it. I like to move a lot; running, walking, on a plane to different countries and cultures. I try not to be that dependent on materia but I want to have my guitar (to two), my sneakers and climbing shoes and a good book...and an open mind :)
Oh, laptop also helps because I really like my job too, writing stories on screen and tv. And to get better stories I want to travel and meet YOU.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see the world and meet the people so I can:
- get to know you.
- get to know myself
- write better stories
- be happy
- pay it forward

Interests

I do sports a lot, mainly focusing on bouldering and beachbolley. Thats also the way I'd like to meet people. Going out and climb a nice rock, playing beach volley on the beach. I might also be able to give some tips if you are a beginner in those sports.

I play guitar and sing sometimes, always up for jamming.

Screenwriting/writing is a job and an interest too. I love to read texts of others so if you wish to have some comments or just talk about texts/writing/books/movies - count me in.
