Just go to references and pictures (adventures of CSurfers), they are worth more than 1000 words.

Before sending request consider and keep in mind:

#I have just cold water in the apartment (FAKE NEWS ;D)

#I do not have wi-fi (VERY TRUE)

#I am flexible with my calendar (=your arrival time) as many of my guests use hitchhiking or bikes. I do hosting mainly for them. Myself I cycled alot to work and I appreciate cyclists. They come when they come, generally speaking. I like a bit of unpredictibility. Thus, you may meet OTHER COUCHSURFERS at the same time. Some are even nice, but majority... Very evil ones come in the middle of the night and make noise with equipment..etc.

#I am still a bit people pleaser. Although I do my best to treat Couchsurfers as VIPs, my spare time depends on variable work schedule, family life and other factors. Keep your expectations low and MAYBE you will be positively surprised in the end :D

#My good jokes are very rare. Max. 10% of my jokes are funny. Nonetheless, I appreciate fake laughter.

#Meeting instead of hosting?If you just pass through JKL and want to streach legs and eat/drink something. I invite you for a 1-2h walk in our beautiful harbour, central part of the city. Let me know by CS message.

THE MOST IMPORTANT:
If I accept your request, I will deliver it. I accept (or decline) your request quickly, just to make you feel comfortable and relaxed that you have a place to stay, but start conversations and send details one day or days before your arrival. Be proactive if you want from me details, information or help earlier, quicker.
My phone: +358469645326, address: Huhtalammentie ?/?, 40640 Jyväskylä. Be anoying when needed, as I may forget to answer e-mails, messages.
Probably I will be mostly at work during your stay as I WORK mostly IN THE EVENINGS so I rely on your INDEPENDENCE. Probably I will give you a home KEY. Probably I will pick you by car from train/bus station to make things easier first day. If you hitchhike I can take you to good spots after your visit.

As local buses do not go often to NATIONAL PARKS, UNESCO spots, wildness COTTAGES, etc.; so sometimes I take my guests to the places I and/or they want to visit.
Ask me in advance when I have free weekend or weekdays to go outdoors for one day or more, if you want to go to national park by my car or sleep in a famous Finnish cottages that are free of charge.

I live in a 2 room APARTMENT on 3rd floor with a nice forrest view and evening sun. It's situated close to at least 7 LAKES. All around there are FOREST PATHS (also to the lakes). There is SAUNA in the apartment ready for heat up. Sometimes BIKES, KAYAK and a CAR in use.
