About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I do not host right now. Originally from a small industrial city from northern Ostrobothnia, Finland, but I consider myself a citizen of the world.

Have been working online the past 9 years, so I’m pretty flexible with my movement.

Viviendo mi vida al MEXIMO y en la forma qué siempre queria.

ABOUT ME

I love spontaneous adventures! Getting to know new people and cultures is amazing!

Amo aventuras espontáneas! Me encanta conocer la gente y su cultura de otros partes del mundo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to get to know people from different parts of the world. It helps me to see something from different point of views.

Quiero conocer la gente en todos los lugares del mundo porque me ayuda a ver las cosas en diferentes perspectivas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I’m a hoster & hang out with CS:ser’s since I’m not the best planner on the world and travel extremely spontanious when I travel.

Estoy solamente hospedando la gente porque soy malo para planear mis viajes y soy un viajero super espontanioso.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was working as a volunteer in a children security house in Oaxaca de Juarez in the South Mexico for 4 months and I also volunteered for a couple of days in the local jail.

In Peru I climbed to a mountain called Putukusi which is next to Machu Picchu. Oh boy! I can really say that I felt that I was in the top of my world that day! I also encouraged one mexican guy to climb up even thought he was exhausted and almost gave up. You should have seen his face when we got in the top of the mountain!! Haha!

En Perú subí a una montaña llamada Putukusi que está al lado de Machu Picchu. Y vaya que sí. Puedo decir que ese día me sentí en la cima del mundo. También animé a un mexicano a subir, aunque estaba agotado y casi se rinde. Tendrías que haber visto su cara cuando llegamos a la cima de la montaña. ¡Jajaja!

Teach, Learn, Share

You can't do anything for your past, you can't be sure about future. Only thing you've got is this moment right now. Live and enjoy ;)

No hay nada qué puedes hacer para tu pasado ni puedes estas seguro qué va a pasar en el futuro, entonces lo mejor es disfrutar el momento ahora. Vive, ama y respira el momento! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Finnish culture with mexican twist. Nice walks around the lovely city of ours and wouldn’t mind if you have roller blades ;)

I’m experienced Sales and HR manager and and know a thing or two about Google Maps API development. Also know a bunch about travel hacking (searching for cheaper flights, flexible flight routes etc. Hit me up if u have something to ask. :)
