Overview
About Me
Hello!
Coming from a small town in the north of Finland, Rovaniemi, I went to study Music in Berlin and Budapest. After five years in the Central Europe I found myself again in Finland but after three years in Finland I ended up to the south of Italy.. and currently I'm studying composition at the Conservatory of Foggia.
I work as a pianist, composer and as a producer of concerts, happenings and festivals. I have also interest in languages, politics, society and all the other things where it is possible to learn something new - if we have free time we can spend it by discussing whatever is on our mind on that moment.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is an excellent way to meet the locals when travelling - and as well an excellent way to meet travellers on the other side. I haven't yet been active on Couchsurfing many times but slowly start becoming more active again...!

Lot of things, for instance the books of Milan Kundera, Mika Waltari, Herman Hesse, many others!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
As a musician, I once played the crash cymbals in a musical piece of 40 minutes, I had just one tone on the climax of piece and I needed to be exactly on time - without any earlier backround how to be a perfect crash cymbal player - and they even took that concert to the radio..! After looking very nervous during the performance (that's what my friends said...) I finally somehow managed to play my great solo on time!
