Hey. My name is Veli-Matti and I am a finnish 26 years old guy. At the moment I'm studying social and public policy in the University of Jyväskylä.
I'm easy-going, fun to hang out with, polite and can make people laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am eager to meet up with new people, which normally doesn't happen when staying in a hotels/hostels. You'll also get to know the country and it's culture better when staying with a local.

Interests

I'm interested in societal and environmental things among others. I'm steadily becoming more and more conscious about the environment, vegetarian nutrition, animal wellfare etc. I like playing video games, sometimes a little too much. Cooking and baking are also close to my heart (and stomach).
