About Me

Hey there!

I'm a 21 year old guy from Tampere, Finland. Atm, I'm studying the basics of information sciences at the Open University of Tampere. I'm also very interested in learning languages.

I also really like to travel and see the world for what is it. That, studying and making music.

But yeah, I would consider myself a people person. But of course just saying that about myself doesn't really weigh much, does it? Anyway, you can contact me anytime through here, facebook or by phone (+358442894931).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hmm, interesting question. Why does someone offer their place for, essentially random people, for sleeping and hanging around? I guess my answer would be that I trust people enough, and I always find it interesting to listen to different kinds of people and learn about different backgrounds. The more variety, the better I say. And the second reason, I would say, is the fact that is a very good way to make connections and form acquintances. So i quess that would the base for the reason why we decided to make our apartment a available for couchsurfing.

PS. I got into couchsurfing by opening my home to surfers, but now that i'll be without a hosting place, maybe ill do some surfing next :)

Our apartment is 83 square meters, there's two rooms, kitchen and a living room. The living room is usable for couchsurfing atm, so we kinda figured - why not?

Interests

My interests? Hmmmmm... I like to learn new things. I like to keep my mind busy and open to new things. I like to embark on.. adventures but I also like quitting some of those, hah. Life is about doing and then quitting after all - or that's how I kindof see it anyhow. But like goals and life achievements? I'm way too young to know what I want to do in 5, 10 or 15 years. Or what I even can do. Like I said, I really like to travel.

Honestly, I would say that my interests right this moment are educating myself the best I can, making connections, talking with people, and listening to them too. I've also started doing some volunteer work with elderly too.

These, and also partyinggg of course!

Music, Movies, and Books

For music? Basically anything goes. Depends on the mood.
Movies? I really enjoy watching a good, thought provoking and entertaining documentary. But you can't get around a good movie though!
I do enjoy books but I've noticed lately my time will most likely go to doing something else. Like watching something, doing school work, talking and hanging with friends or just browsing news and reddit, hah. But if I find a really good book, I instantly get hooked.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm, would be the fact that I spent 35 days traveling around west
/northern India. That's where the inspiration for traveling comes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm way too young and stupid to truly teach anyone and I have a lot to learn about life.

I can only share stories :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hah, would that I actually had something valuable to offer! A hard thing to say!

My thoughts I guess? Haha.
