Unfortunately I can't host any more people in August, September or October, for later in the year feeI welcome to ask. And sorry all to all of you who have sent me requests for August, there have been so many of you that I haven't even been able to keep up with answering everyone. Too busy at the moment with the start of the school year etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet new people from all around the world. I love traveling, but can't do much myself at the moment, hosting people is an equally good way to meet new people and learn about their cultures.
Kids are very welcome too. And any potential guests will of course have to tolerate mine :)

Interests

art, guitars, ice hockey, history, languages
It's difficult to list, I find most things quite interesting. Too little time, too much to do...

• arts
• traveling
• hockey
• history
• languages
• physics

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Mainly British 60's and 90's: Beatles, Kinks, The Who, Blur, Stone Roses, Primal Scream etc. But I listen to and like lots of different kinds of music. Used to play the guitar, but haven't had time for that recently.
My tastes in movies and books are equally varied, and I love visual arts too, both going to museums and painting myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Reasonable success in having it all (combining studies/career and children I mean)

Teach, Learn, Share

We can all learn something from one another.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a good knowledge of Helsinki and the surrounding region, having lived here for most of my life.
