About Me

Please read my profile.
I can be your guide in Helsinki area.

CURRENT MISSION
Developing myself.

ABOUT ME
Im very easy-going, flexible with my plans, spontaneous, adventurous.
I like to do travels by my own way - to do it special.
In the future I think that I will regret more things that I did not do - rather things I did.

PHILOSOPHY
Be happy what you have. This is the most important one - some guy want a helicopter. Some guy want a luxurious car. Someone else wants just a new car. Someone wants just a car. Someone wants only a bicycle.. Someone wants to be able to walk...
If you are not making people´s life better, you are wasting your time.
Give more than you take.
The world is a huge book, keep exploring - keep reading it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to play football seriously during my teenage years.
Then started doing some fight sports like MMA and BJJ.
Competed in both of them.
Attended to practices in BJJ:
- Hong Kong
- Seoul, South-Korea
- Penang, Malaysia

I would love to learn new languages. Im blessed by finnish language which is kinda extreme language to learn. Unfortunately there is only less than 6 million people on earth who can speak the language so.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I PREFER TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH MY HOSTS/SURFERS.
I can share my travel stories.
I can tell you about building services - but I think this is a topic that we can talk if you have sleeping problems.
Im kinda handyman and I like to fix things. Im willing to help you if i just can.
