About Me

I've traveled a bit and I'm planning to do a lot more of it. I like music. I recently got a hang drum but don't expect a dazzling show just yet. And I like to hear interesting stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted a bit and I want to do more of it, I attended many meetings around Europe while traveling and I tried to find people to host me.

I've met a couple of dozen people through this site and they have been amazing company and shared great stories. I've attended a few meetings, hosted a bit and I really enjoy the spirit the travelers have.

Interests

Movies, tv series, electronic music, philosophy, technology, history, physics, politics, future and stand-up comedy. Humor altogether is a big part of my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of electronic music. I really like all of Miyazaki's movies. The most impactful book has been Steven Pinker's Better Angel's of Our Nature. Right now I'm reading Dune.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen the aurora borealis, the northern lights and they are beyond anything I have ever seen on this planet. The biggest ones I saw years ago. Even though I was only a small child I can still clearly remember seeing the whole sky lit in green and blue flames in the heart of winter.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been in a each one teach one program for languages where I taught Finnish to a person and they've taught me Russian and Spanish so I have practice in that. I am good enough to teach Finnish and English well. I make a bit of music with the computer.
