Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travelling as much as I have time for in between work :)
ABOUT ME
Originally from Finland but living in Stockholm since june 2012...
When I was younger I didn't travel almost at all, but in later years I've gotten more and more interested in exploring the world. All my experiences have been positive or at least educative ;).
PHILOSOPHY
Don't take life too seriously, 'cause you'll never get out of it alive. -Elbert Hubbard
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. -Confucius
OR the updated version:
It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. -Rocky Balboa
:D :D
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I first started using CS when I did my exchange studies in Bangkok, and I met a lot of cool people on the weekly meetings.
I've surfed and hosted a couple times with my CS friends =)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My experience with CS has been only positive and I've met many nice people in the meetings in Stockholm, Turku and Bangkok.
