About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as I can from as many people as I can.

ABOUT ME

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm returning to Couchsurfing.

Well, I'd like to think im an openminded and a fun guy. I get along with everyone pretty much and just have a all around positive angle on life :)
I do love travelling.. who doesn't who's in CS? I try to get out as much as I can, doing little stings here and there and I'm now doing another round-the-world trip with the love of My Life!

I'm loving HelsinkI! No denying it. I've grown attached to the city and I love the beat and possibilities of a big city. I'm socially really active and even if My wildest parties are behind Me, Ill not frown on a good brew. I love meeting new people and CS has Been a big part of it.

Also a point worth noting is that I'm musically oriented to metal and if that yanks your chain.

Thats about it.. well, not even close to it but a tip of the iceberg atleast :)

PHILOSOPHY

Don't let the confines of social acceptability and expectedness take you down! I'm trying to rid myself of these chains a bit more every day :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By trying to better the community by learning from it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Havent hosted in a long time but I have surfed with My girlfriend plenty in the last few years.

Interests

Well.. traveling obviously.. movies, music (metal, trance), martial arts (aikido, iaido.. well.. all of em but those two the most), computers, reading. Also craft beers are close to my heart as a New addition.

Music, Movies, and Books

top 5 as it comes to mind:
T2
Aliens
Fountain
LA confidential
Sin City

Music is typically Nu metal, or progressive industrial, also Melodic death is close at my heart at the moment.. trance always works as does classic rock.. pretty much anything goes really :)

Books? Stephen king is the the best. Also fantasy works. Been digging into Salvatore and HP Lovecraft more and more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee and skydiving. Also doing Angels Landing - trail in Zion natural park was pretty vivid experience for someone who has a bad case of the fear of hights.

The people we've met. Weird encounters with rock and pop stars and strange coincidences all around.

Besides that.. Japan in general. My dream country. So gonna come back here! Namaste!

Teach, Learn, Share

Sell that couch that you just bought, get a cab to the airport with change in socks and underwear and a bar of soap plus a visa and get a flight.. yeah that country sounds cool.. go there!

Countries I’ve Visited

French Polynesia, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Finland
