Back in the days I was travelling quite a bit. Now I have settled, at least for a while. I really enjoyed couch surfing during my travels and got to experience lot of hospitality. I'm up to returning the favour for the community.

NOTE! I only host couples and men.

I graduated recently and I'm working full time atm as an analyst. Generally I work 9-5 routine. My girlfriend lives far away and we only meet at weekends. There's a better chance for you to be hosted from monday to friday.

Nothing is expected from you (just normal manners). I appreciate it highly if you have your own plan on what you will and want to do here in Helsinki, since I'm not able to promise you that I have time to show you around. Best things tend to happen when there are not too many expectations that can't be met. Be open minded, I'll promise to be too!

The main reason why I host people is that I'm not able to travel that much anymore. I still don't consider any single place as my "home". I identify myself still a traveller (a person with tons of curiosity and strong will to learn and challenge my thinking). I feel most home when I'm around people with similar mindset. Travellers are travelling, so I'm only left with the option to host You traveller.

CS seems to be more active than it has been in the past. I'm honestly not able to answer all the request (once in a while I tend to forget that I got one. You increase your chances to be hosted (also with other hosts) if you are just honestly yourself. We might not have too much time to get to know each other so introduce yourself well in the request and we can have more meaningful conversation while you are here. I really love stretching my thoughts in a good company!

I'm living in a lively neighbourhood w/ bars, cafes and restaurants. (You can google Helsinki - Kallio and check yourself).

I quit drinking while ago, but i don't mind if you have some.

My place is a 1 room studio located few metro stops from Helsinki city center. I have inflatable mattress (pretty nice one).

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

As stated above, I feel like I have received more than I have given. That's against my life philosophy and now it's time to act!

I enjoy seeing people following their dreams and pursuing what ever they feel in their hearts (I've already met bunch of you!). I think only way for me to understand the whole world (which is kinda my life goal) is to meet everyone.

That's why you are welcome to stay!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I'm able to give you place to stay. Normally I sleep in a bed and the surfer sleeps on the mattress. I don't know why it goes that way. If you had a long way you can sleep on a bed and I'll have the mattress.

I'll have plenty of sheets and pillows. If there's two of you coming one sleeping bag could help out, but not necessary.

I'll eat out/ have take away nowadays quite often, so the fridge is pretty empty many times but lets fill it up and have some good time!

I found out that many of couch surfers want to bring me something as a gift. Gift is absolutely not required and please don't bring me any stuff! If you still want to bring something or if you feel obliged, since you were raised that way or it's a cultural thing, you can bring me some basic household items like tooth paste, dish washing soap, toilet paper etc. (check yourself, what is running out of the house). Best thing would be if you could give me one of your playlists! I listen to music constantly and new stuff is always appreciated.

We can also try to ResQ some good food. If you don't know what that is, that's one thing you should definitely try out in Helsinki!

Last but not least. Don't be mad if I'm not replying to you! I'm really busy once in a while (like we all are) and I tend to forget the request pretty easily.

Thank you for your understanding!
