About Me

I've got a big passion inside of me towards living and experiencing life in its various forms. Exploring the world and meeting people gives me the most wonderful sense of meaning and being alive. I wish to learn, grow and experience as much as I can and therefore understand more about this complex world we live in.

To me, travelling is about emerging yourself into new cultures filled with wonder, beauty, sadness, injustice, societal exclusion, inspirational people, haunting histories, rich traditions, vibrant dance steps, folk tales, colorful music and heartbreaking stories - just to name a few. You don't just pay a visit, those places and feelings travel with you for the rest of your life and, hopefully, light a spark inside of you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the stories you hear while sitting in a stranger's kitchen tend to be the most unbelievable and touching of them all.

Ah, we need to discuss about these ones in person!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my biggest and wildest dreams ever came true in 2013 when I played guitar on stage with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach you some Finnish and how to awkwardly dance in silence. I also have a few travel stories in my pocket.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chocolate, sudden dance battles and high fives! And a person to talk to about anything and everything. Like I said, let's forget the rules and just let the moment and life flow.
