About Me

Attention! Getting back into couchsurfing, I haven't really updated my profile since 2012! Music is still biggest thing there is for me but I have also got involved in science stuff. Currently finishing my masters studies in space physics.

I'm living together with my girlfriend (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/hanna-kankaala-1). Prefer shorter stays (1 to 2 nights) and 1 to 2 surfers but there can be exceptions. Don't request couch for more than 2 weeks ahead of time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm quite social and laid back person. I like to go with the flow and not to stress about things that I can't control. I have really anything goes attitude towards things minor like "What we should eat today?" or "Should we do A or B?". You won't most probably find me getting angry. Don't be confused if you find me laughing in a situation when it could almost feel unpropriate. It might happen since I'm just me and I laugh quite often :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was when I hitchhiked from Oulu, Finland down to Bulgaria with my friend and while on the road we were hosted by some of the coolest persons I have had a pleasure met. And I deffinitely had a blast!

  • music
  • jazz
  • guitar
  • mathematics
  • physics
  • science

Music, Movies, and Books

I think you there's something interesting to be found out in all kinds of music. I could mention some of the music I've currently been listening:

Guitarist:
Wayne Krantz and Oz Noy
I'm fascinated by their playing styles which are somekind of mix of funk, rock and jazz. Jeff Kollman is also very cool! He can sometimes be really furious and metal which isn't bad thing at all!

The album I have probably listened most this summer is Frames by band Oceansize. The album has great a atmosphere and I recommend it to everyone.

Some of other great bands/musicians that are/have been important for me:
Pat Metheny, Mew, Opeth, Devin Townsend, King Crimson, Tool, Saint Lu, Iron Maiden (band that got me into the music).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was probably six years old I was truely amazed by bird I saw from the kindergarten yard. It was a flying mini penguin with a shrunk beak of a toucan. Nobody belived me, but I'm was sure as hell of what I saw. Nowadays I think it might have been a puffin!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some guitar basics and share my philosophy of playing.
