I'm an IT geek going global and enjoying the company. I want to see the world and let the world see me. I think that you've done good in life if you leave this Earth a better place when you go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to help people in any way I can, so I provide accommodation and assistance, and meet up with travellers for chats and giggles. The world truly opens up once we broaden our horizons.

So far I've hosted a few people and helped many by answering their questions. We've also enjoyed board game meetups with the local CS community. I've met fantastic people over CS and I expect that trend to continue ever on.

Interests

I'm innately curious to all things scientific. Most of the time I'm climbing rocks or getting ready to do so, and the rest of the time I ride a motorcycle, play tabletop games, devour both books and movies and TV series, drink craft beers of various sort, and occasionally, or fairly frequently, organize local events. I'm a fuzzy ISTP anglophile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching kids to program.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to share – I know at least bouldering, snowboarding, beers and an array of programming languages. I'm big on spoken languages, and I'd love to learn some new piano tunes and maybe some even on a penny whistle or hang drum.

Stories of how boring it is to drive alone in a car from Finland to the Netherlands. Some great tips about Berlin and moving abroad.
