ABOUT ME

Hi!

How to put into words my awesome personality, my wicked sense of humor and of course, my humble nature...

I'm easy going and like to have a laugh with my friends.
At this moment my time is consumed by studying but I would definitely like to travel more. My favorite place so far: awesome, wonderful Berlin. I used to live there and consider it my second home.

Some of my goals for near the future.
- Watch every movie mentioned in a book "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die".
-Learn to do a perfect handstand.
-Sing karaoke without "back-up choir". Update: Done!
-Don´t kill any patients.
-Do inter-railing. Update: Kind of done. Also used a bus, taxi and hitchhiking as a mean of transport.
-Visit some place outside Europe.

You'll learn more once you get to know me. So I guess that's all for now.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem... No, just kidding!

Lets put it this way, here's a nice poem I once heard: "I'm jealous of the pieces of a chocolate bar; how can they be side by side, so effortlessly?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've used CS to meet new people when traveling. To this time I have been hosting 5 times and would really love to host more, provided that someone is actually willing to come to Kuopio. I would also like to couchsurf more. I've done that few times and it has been great so far.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While traveling around the world I've noticed CS to be the best way to meet new interesting people.
