Easy going, much traveling music lover (jazz, blues, folk, classic, rock)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am traveling as much as I can and prefer to stay in hostels or with people at their homes. It's the best way to meet nice folks and get in contact with "real"people and their cities, villages and countries, their culture and way of living.
Have also been hosting guests via Servas for many years, and would be now willing to do so again and host couch surfers.

教，学，和分享

You could stay in a small room (I have a lovely cat‍ ,so you shouldn't be allergic or afraid) and I could give you some advice what to see and do in Helsinki and Finland. If I have time we could go for a drive or take a walk together, go to a museum or a concert.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Breakfast, laughter, my knowledge on Finnish jazz musicians and other information of Finland. If we find something interesting we could go to a concert or art exhibition together.
