About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and sometimes to crash on someones coach.

ABOUT ME

I like to travel and meet new people. I am also very interested in martial arts, and most of my trips involve training in some discipline. Coachsurfing is great as it lets me do this without hotels.

I'm a reasonable man and it's easy to get along with me. I like to make jokes about everything, and everybody, so please warn me beforehand if you're touchy - my intention is not offend anyone. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. I think everybody should have the right to live the way they want to live. And actually, everybody should do the things they enjoy and that give them satisfaction and fulfillment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a house with some space so I can sometimes host people. Looking forward to crash someones coach myself in the future. Usually I have no time to be a tourist guide, but I can give solid hints about Lappeenranta.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted quite a lot of people, and it's always fun. So is crashing on someones coach.

Interests
