CURRENT MISSION

Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.

ABOUT ME

I used to describe myself as an adventurer with itchy feet and lots of dreams. Now I love every day: I love my apartment, I love my job, I love karate and I have found a special person I love, too. I feel like I am living the dream and no longer have itchy feet.

That said, I still also like travelling and want to see new places every year.

I enjoy sports a lot, and almost anything goes :) Karate takes up most of my time. I have a black belt in koryu uchinadi karate, but am really a very calm and nice person! Other sports I do on a semi-regular basis are football, going to the gym, snowboarding, cycling etc.

Nature is my hobby, passion and lifestyle, although I'm 100% an urbanite. It's just amazing how being in the nature calms ones nerves and makes one so happy. I don't get to go to the nature so much normally (no car), but on holidays I try to make up for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted in the past, when I still lived alone in a bigger studio flat in Helsinki. Right now I am unfortunately much too busy to meaningfully connect (I spend pretty much all my free time training martial arts). On my travels I always try to connect with CSers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing! Both hosting and surfing have been great ways of connecting with so many different people!
