About Me

ABOUT ME

I love traveling. I'm always happy when I'm going somewhere. I like to meet new interesting people, exchange some stories, know more about different cultures, history, and local food and beverages.

I have a fear of heights, but I always push my self to the limits with that. I have a need to climb high places when travelling.
Castles and ruins are my favourite sightseeing things, and other historical stuff. I also enjoy clubbing, and festivals.

I live in Tampere, Finland. Been living there all my life. If the time allows, I'm happy to show you around.

PHILOSOPHY

Memories are what we are made from. Memories are what our life consists of, eventually. Memories had and memories that are to become. Nothing more or nothing less. Important is what we recollect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll host, and surf, and recommend this to everyone I know :)

I don't surf to save money in lodging. I surf to meet people and to get more out of the place where I am traveling. And I try to offer the same to people I host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in Poland, Germany, Belgium and Italy and met great people doing it.
I've hosted people from Switzerland, US, UK, Croatia, Czech Republic and Germany. All of them nice people too.
It's always interesting to meet new people and share some stories.

(Some of our guests have only left reference about us to my girlfriends profile page. If you wonder how come there is not a reference from all the countries mentioned above)
