Hi, I'm Matias. I'm a 20 year old future artisan student from Finland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new open-minded people. A few friends of mine have had good experiences on Couchsurfing so I decided to give it a try.

Besides, I don't really trust in hotels because of a few unfortunate experiences I've had in the past.

Interests

I love and live for art. I'm always (over) analyzing different texts and pieces of media. I play a couple of instruments, have classical training in singing and sometimes do acting as a hobby, for now at least.

• literature
• singing
• drawing
• music
• opera
• theatre

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love genres like new-wave and punk, mostly from the late 70s to early 80s. Favourite bands of mine are currently Bauhaus and Cocteau Twins. I also love Hole (mind that I don't like Courtney Love as a person), Radiohead, Bikini Kill, Blur, Hassisen Kone, Sielun Veljet (and other projects and bands of Ismo Alanko), David Bowie, Klaus Nomi and Oingo Boingo. Tom Waits is my favourite singer.
I also like pop, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears, you name it.
Classical or music is very close to my heart, I love the works of Mozart, Verdi, Tschaikovsky, Shostakovich and Aulis Sallinen.

Books: Dostoevsky, Idiot/ Victor Hugo, Les Miserables/ William S. Burroughs, Junky/ Alexandr Pushkin, Eugene Onegin

Movies: Trainspotting, Compartment No.6, Cabaret, The Talented Mr. Ripley

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hundreds of stories I find funny but no one else seems to care for. No, but I'm actually quite fun company, if you don't mind me humming or singing. Also Finnish culture, rants about things dear to me.
