I live with my girlfriend (kristalli) and our daughter just outside of Helsinki, in Espoo. Espoo is still in the metropolitan area, and is the second biggest town of Finland.

I'm a full-time employee at an IT company, therefore I wake up fairly early and cannot stay up late during the weekdays. Weekends are busy, but if planned well, I might have some time to show you around the beautiful, but small, city of Helsinki and all the nice places you can find in the town.

My aim is to experience all that life has to offer to enable a higher sense of happiness while feeding my eternal curiosity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet and learn to know different people from different cultures and countries. I'd like to host you, preferably for 2 or 3 nights, when I am at home in Espoo or go for a drink/sightseeing with you in Finnish capital if time allows.
