About Me

A very layabout fellow who currently lives in Tornio, right by the border of Sweden and Finland.

Majorly gaming person in my heart, I tend to spend lots of my time on my computer, however, at times I end up in situations where I can say that I am not always the most comfortable, but as I have learned to adapt along the years, most of the things have turned out to be beyond average to me.

At times I tend to go outside and listen to nature, in order to calm myself out of whatever would be bothering my mind at the time.

Outside of my computer life, I am actually pretty shy person to complete strangers, but give me couple of days to knowing you and you might have one grand friend who goes to pretty much anything that's not too extreme.

My original profession/occupation title is housebuilder, but I am currently almost done with my studies of Designer assistant, which contain:
Architectual and mechanical planning and drawing
3D planning and printing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Funnily enough, my first experience with couchsurfing became a thing because of a friend changing plans, and ended up being told by another friends about this site, and found my emergency sleeping place through here, and now I probably atleast attempt to have some sort of thing going on.

I cannot promise for a place to sleep for everyone that comes by, because my normal daily activities may harm being the host, and that is something I am trying to figure a solution on right now.

  • nature

Music, Movies, and Books

Majorly a fan of average metal, but still open-minded to other genres, I have learned to enjoy different kinds of bands, starting from the Finnish metal bands (Turmion Kätilöt, Nightwish, Turisas, Finntroll, etc etc) to various rock,jazz,blues, and even can stand some opera and harmonic concerts.

My movie taste bases around whatever comes in mind.. Majorly fan of animated series such as Looney toons, Donald duck, Rescue rangers and Disney overall, I once in a while end up watching some movies I happen to find at the time.. But if you'd spot me watching some non-animatics, you'd possibly find me either from the documents or the action lines, depending on my mood again.

And as for books, I would probably call out the Hercules series, written by Timothy Boggs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably one of the few traditions I've had so far, is that I have been able to go rafting in the local rapids 3 summers in a row now.. Even if it may not be the longest some people have been in, it is still pure ecstasy for the 5-10 minutes you go down, and each time it has been awesome each time I have been there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you were to host me, you have quite an easy one! I usually don't ask for much and at times even if I don't look like at the start, I am pretty much up for almost anything that can get the time being spent about, and you don't have to worry about anything I could really go for unless told otherwise.
