About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get rid of my property. My room is gonna be Scandinavian chic.

HOSTING SITUATION

Start your message with LASERDANCE or I wont reply to your request. By doing this you'll confirm that you have read my profile & my home section, understood them and that your request is not a generic copy-paste. This is important especially if you are new to Couchsurfing :)

If you just need a place to sleep, I suggest a hostel (which my apartment is not) - Couchsurfing is more than a "free" bed. It's an exchange of ideas, it's about the experience of meeting and spending time with similar minded people.

During the season I receive several requests per day so let's try to make this dialogue noteworthy, shall we :)

In a nutshell: Why do you think we should meet?

ABOUT ME

A fairly decent and friendly guy from Helsinki. Hello world!

I study landscape architecture. I design the parks. How cool is that.

I like the smell of old wooden bridges, urbanism, retro-futuristic cityscapes and intense conversations. I have a weakness for bangs, second-hand bookshops and observing people at a library. I try to surround myself with kindhearted and passionate people. I will probably host you if you fancy Freaks & Geeks.

Write a delightful message about why we should meet up! I will unveil the heart of Helsinki to you! I just might know some special or unknown places in Hel.

PHILOSOPHY

More good times.
