Hey cheers for visiting my page! Introducing myself I am a 26 year-old easy going lad. I value conversation, positivity, and creating friendships, and overall peculiar life experiences (: I travel to to spice things up, eat local delicacies, and to spend time getting to know people. I love asking questions, and learning from the perspective of other people. I was born in Finland, but I re-located to the United States for most of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want new experiences through locals eyes, and always eager to learn from a wide variety of people. In my opinion, there is no better way to enjoy a city then with someone who has already lived there.
