About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find something new to my life

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm 41 year old man from Imatra, Southeast region of Finland. I also live here in Imatra, not in Lappeenranta. Imatra is about 30-35 kilometers to north/east from Lappeenranta.

I could describe myself with following adjectives: calm, polite, patient and reliable.

I have a degree from University of applied sciences, I graduated in the year 2010 as BBA, Bachelor of Business and Administration.

I'm currently searching for new job opportunities. I was studying programming at Saimaa University of Applied Sciences about four years ago.

PHILOSOPHY

One thing at the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING (Read my notice carefully, please.)

As a host and a couchsurfer. By surfing, I wish to meet new people and maybe have some new friends.

If you are using a bicycle as your vehicle of traveling, I can, could or would like to take a small ride with you.

Aнонс: Просим уведомить о вашем приезде за неделю. Спасибо.

NOTICE: Please send me your request Week (seven days) before your date of arrival so that our schedules fit together. And please do confirm your arriving at least 2-3 days before coming here at Imatra. And also, I don't take guests at one day notice.

NOTICE II: Imatra is about 30-35 kilometers to north/east from Lappeenranta.

At this moment, I might have possibility to host someone, for day or two. I currently live in a single apartment, so here is room only for ONE person. I don't have extra mattress or bed, so you should have a sleeping bag or something like that with you.

I would also like to have coffee with someone living here at Imatra or Lappeenranta.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Firstly, time to spend with someone, chat, hang out, have long walks and have fun.

Secondly, place to stay for a while and for e.g. make food. You can use my home appliance, oven, fridge, coffee maker etc. If you have specially exquisite taste, you may have to bring your foodstuff with you.

P.S. Note/tip to all foreign travelers coming here to Finland: Finland is quite expensive country. So, if you want to buy something with cash or travel using local public transportation, you should reserve enough money when coming here to Finland. I suggest that you reserve at least 80 to 100 Euros, that should be adequate amount to use to public transportation or buying items with cash.
