About Me

Hello!

I am Jussi, a 27-year-old nerd! I finished up my B.Sc degree in 2019, worked a few years and went back to uni in 2021 to get an M.Sc. Currently working in fusion energy research, it's my absolute passion! Math, physics, and saving the world, what more can you ask for?

I am currently living in a 2-bedroom apartment with my flatmate in Central-East London, zone 2. 20 mins from Liverpool Street Station and good Tube connections!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and new cultures. In addition, helping others is helping myself! I've met a load of great people through CS, and want to keep doing that for as long as I can!

Interests

-As my profile suggests, science. Mathematics, computer science, physics... You name it.

-Music, fanatic musician! If you can sing or play anything, come over and let us jam! Even if you cant, let's do it anyways. I love to learn about new bands and whatnot! I'd also like to teach you something. My favorite genres are probably metal, classical, hard bop jazz, rap, hip hop and so.

-Debating: politics, science, society!

-Art in general: especially street art, audiovisual art, and contemporary art

-Sports! Apart from your everyday gym training, I love parkour and martial arts as well. Currently practicing Muay Thai. I also dance some, mainly salsa and bachata!

-Really bad and really good books: reading is a passion!
