About Me

A Finnish salesman from Oulu, near the Arctic Circle. Laid back and open-minded.

I've been at Couchsurfing meetups in Milano and Vilnius 😎

We can go walk on ice at Nallikari Beach if you visit Oulu during winter. Summertime possibilities include e-scooting / biking, kayaking, swimming. Sauna on Fridays!

Oulu is a seaside city and gateway to the Arctic Lapland. Oulu has excellent regular flight connections from Helsinki. From here you could take a train further north up to Rovaniemi or Kolari.

I know all the best restaurants in Oulu, so you may ask for my recommendations.
