They call me the Shackleton of the family, and this name has something of truth in it. It is simply because I just love to go where most people do not dare to go to. Starting from the US, to hopping on a 23 hours long flight from the land of the setting sun to the land of the rising sun, to finally coming close to the North pole as I am in Finland.
Along my travel journey, I have met some of the most inspiring persons, learned what I could not learn in university, discovered myself and my passions, and finally developed a strong sense of gratitude and tolerance.
I am hoping to tour Europe for a continuous two months in a quest to discover what gems it has to offer.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I believe that every person you can meet has an inspiring story to tell, and if you start by sharing yours, he/she might share theirs, and then when you hear that story, you are never the same again.
Stories are memorable and give one million lessons. They are these priceless possession that each of us has, and I believe the one with bigger number of stories is indeed the wealthiest.
and, isn't gathering (surfing) on a couch with a storyteller the best way to tell and hear stories?

- graphic design
- Photography: Photography and travelling go hand in hand. I think that a trip without pictures is just a wasted trip.
- Emerging new technologies: portable tech, Virtual Reality, and Autonomous Electric cars
