About Me

CURRENT MISSION
See the World, meet people, learn and enjoy life.

ABOUT ME
I have travelled whenever there has been change to do so. First in Europe, then America, few times to Cuba. Had a gap year from work and took the train to Siberia, Tibet, China and toured Korea to end up in SE Asia. Another trip soon after to North Africa, Middle East, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Then third ... a long list.

In Europe I have lived in Finland and in Switzerland. Would like to do a motorbike tour of Europe in few years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe it is excellent way to meet interesting people. To meet people is the best thing in travelling. Makes travelling more affordable and possible. I am still pretty new to CS though.

Interests

Nature: hiking, snowboarding, forest walks or diving, does not matter I love it.

Travel: on the train, strange country, somehow still feels like home. At this point, more sometimes.

Reading, photography. Running, swimming and going to gym.

Like to read about history, economy, different cultures and world events.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A trip lasting almost a year, starting from Finland and going overland to Bangkok. Trains, busses, few ferries and lots of motorbike driving. High points Tibet and Mongolia.

Teach, Learn, Share
