Overview
About Me
I'm a Finnish guy living in Helsinki with a spirit filled with life. I spend my time working in a wonderful company with big aims, having fun with my friends, meeting new people in diverse circles, organizing disco parties and making my own music. I'm an ambitious type and I live the kind of life that I find fulfilling. On the other hand I'm a contemplative kind of person and sometimes I get absorbed into profound thoughts.
I've tried Couchsurfing a little bit and it has been a wonderful experience. Unfortunately I can't host at the moment because I have too little room.
I get inspiration from learning languages. At the moment I'm working on my spoken French. In Helsinki there is a wonderful, super popular club where people can go speak in different languages and get to know each other. It is held in a nice bar. I go there every week. The idea is simple but ingenius: you've got labels with names of languages on them. If there is a table with a label on it, then people who sit in that table must speak the language indicated in that label. If you don't find a table of your preferred language, then you create it by going to an empty table with a corresponding label and if someone wants to speak that language he can join your table!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When you travel, it gives you much more to have someone local with you. After all, just going around on your own without meeting people gets boring quite quickly, at least for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I think it was amazing when I had my eyes lasered. (I know, it's not a cool thing like jumping down a mile high cliff with a parachute, but I'm not a kind of guy who does such things.) After the operation I haven't had to wear glasses anymore. How is it possible? We take it for granted because we live in a technological era, but try to go into the wild and correct your eyesight. Witch's work!
