About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my life by doing things that I truly like!

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing person, who likes to do sports and have good conversations. I enjoy good food, drinks, movies - and I am enthusiastic about music, especially electronic. I have a mission to visit exciting places throughout my life, and never to stop. So far, I've enriched my life by seeing many beautiful places and have met even more wonderful people during my travels, that I've become addicted to it. I want to visit all continents, no matter what!

PHILOSOPHY

Citius, Altius, Fortius

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by being active and outgoing, trying to help whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some: I've met other couchsurfers through my friends and have been CS:ing in Argentina during my travels in 2013. I've also hosted some guests.

Interests

I just love amazing landscapes: mountains, waterfalls, forests - anything that will stop you gazing at something money can't buy. I do also play and watch sports: football in particular. I play floorball (quite popular sport in Scandinavia!), golf and go to the gym to mention few. I'm learning to play guitar, slow but steadily... I like to watch movies and to listen to music. I like to read books instead of watching TV, so go for it and recommend me good ones! =) I love to travel and see the world as much as I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Babel, Intouchables, Koyaanisqatsi and many others that overwhelm you.
From less serious films I like almost everything Will Ferrell does. ☺
Music: Muse, Maroon 5, Green Day, Metallica, AC\DC, Fatboy Slim, Moby, Daft Punk, Kraftwerk and other EDC.
I also like Finnish music quite a bit.
Books: Dan Brown, Paulo Coelho and various English and Finnish literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending new years eve's in different locations around the world gives you perspective of true joy in its different forms: the way to celebrate it varies, but the expectation for better tomorrow is common for all. The first time I saw northern lights was spectacular, similarly many of the other great experiences are the shows that nature provides. During my trip to South America, following things were really wonderful: Iguazu falls, Macchu Pichu, Nasca lines and Galapagos islands. Chocolate hills, swimming with whale sharks and beautiful volcano Mayon in the Philippines are things I'll remember for good.

Teach, Learn, Share

I admire people wiser than me. =) I enjoy conversations about life and our beautiful planet. It's funny how many topics can lead to intensive discussion about (world) politics!
