About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy U.S as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

Right now I'm living in Lexington, Kentucky, U.S, but in the beginning of May I will return back to Helsinki, Finland. I'm an exchange student, and I've been here in the States from the beginning of January. I study in University of Kentucky, and my major in Finland is Arts Management.

During my free-time I like to listen to music. I also have a band with my friends, we combine indie rock and hip hop, and I have been doing electronic and hip hop music by myself for many years. I work out in the gym a lot, and in summer I love to play disc golf with my friends. Those are maybe the three hobbies of mine that I enjoy the most.

I like to laugh and have fun. I know how to party although I don't like to go to night clubs so much, because I don't like dancing (unless I'm really drunk, then I star break dancing :D) and I much rather just sit and talk and laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First by surfing, and later as a host. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no experience on couch surfing. I heard about this from my friend, and I decided to try this now, as a surfer. I can't host anyone right now, but when I get back to Finland I'll definitively want to be a host.

Interests

Music (listening, making, mixing, mastering), movies, series, bodybuilding (I would say working out, but I also try to stay healthy and eat only healthy foods, so I guess it's at least somehow close to bodybuilding), disc golf, xbox (especially FIFA), fishing, snowboarding, reading, soccer.

My all time favorite movies are Forrest Gump and Titanic (I know, maybe not the most manly movie), I can't decide which one takes the first place. Few of my all time favorite series: Sopranos, Californication, Friends, Dexter, Entourage, True Blood, O.C, Prison Break.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performing my music to more than thousand people in an outdoor concert in Helsinki, and the most amazing thing was that people really liked it!!! :D
