About Me

I´m a musician and I have had a home studio since I was 18. Lived in communes almost all of my life. Usually the room mates were musicians or other artists and we have welcomed all kind of people around the world to stay with us. Nowadays it´s just me, my daughter and two cats.

I'm interested in history, science, art, music and nature. I like camping and visiting castles and other historical places. Maybe even more interested in ancient history. In Finland I visit national parks, rock painting sites, caves and ancient pagan sites but also like to photograph abandoned sites like old hospitals. I'm introvert so sometimes my social side just shuts off and I need to recharge my batteries. I play guitar nowadays but most of my life my main instrument has been drums.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I can meet interesting people who share the same interests and maybe can give me tips or share some history of the place i'm visiting. Would be awesome to find other musicians abroad to jam with!
