CURRENT MISSION

To get new experiences by visiting new places and by seeing people from all around the world.

ABOUT ME

Grown up in a small town in Eastern Finland. Essentially I'm open-minded smiling person, who likes to get to known new people and hear their stories. But at first when I meet new people face to face I might be a little bit shy. I have always enjoyed to work in places where I can be with other people. Now I've lived way over 10 years in Kajaani, Finland first studying and now working as an sales agent by answering our customers phone calls in open office alongside my colleagues.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a one time journey so keep your mind open and the world keeps doors open for you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Planning to go to CS meetings. Also interested to meet new people live via this page. Maybe offer couch/mattress to stay for someone who's visiting Kajaani and surf some local couches wherever I travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Prague I joined to CS meeting in February 2013, had a amazing personal guided tour around city and visited different places with a great couchsurfers group. I joined to 33th Catania CS meeting in August 2013.

Interests

I like: deep conversations, going to sauna, watching a good movie, red wine, good whiskey, cold beer, good food, checking out new places, my job, my friends, my family and our summer place in Eastern Finland, volleyball with working colleagues, playing football (European) in summertime, disc (frisbee) golf, following ice-hockey and also other sports, to enjoy my life for example having new experiences from CS. I become inspired from new people/my friends from new ideas from them and what I can give to them.
