A 25 year-old lad originally from Tampere, Finland! I'm fascinated by life sciences like biochemistry, human biology and clinical lab work. These things branch out to my personal life too, which you can tell from my love towards little kitchen projects involving micro-organisms. Despite my love for sciences, i also love making new acquaintances and meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds. I'm interested in experiencing foreign and unusual ways of living and thinking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Let's be honest, i'm fairly new at couchsurfing still but i'm overly excited! (I always read this line in my profile but i've never felt confident taking off the "fairly new" part - i guess that is because this thing just does not stop amazing me!)
I like travelling light, sometimes so light that people think I've accidentally left all my stuff somewhere. I feel like less weight on my back allows me to be more focused on what and who is actually around me.

It'd be an honor to share my time and my thoughts with you. I want to see the true nature of people, see their weird habits, quirks, homes, whatever! I'm not too fond of hostels which would be alright if i merely needed a bed to sleep for the night. Habitating one's couch is another thing; you can surround yourself with real life and real people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe the most valuable thing i can share are my points of view in all aspects of life. I like to think that i'm good company, but then again who isn't? I'm also quite a handy self-taught cook. I've noticed Finnish cuisine is the worst to replicate in another country but if you insist on it, i'll figure something out!

If there's anything specific I could do for you, please dare to ask!
