About Me

As a person I am calm and outgoing. I like enjoying Life and getting new Challenges. I love meeting new people and also getting to know them.

I love travelling and going on adventures. The only continent I haven't visited yet is Australia, so some day I will be going there too.
I have travelled around Europe, lived in florida and also visited the states a lot, I have been in Peru, in Gambia and in Thailand.
I still have plans to go to Australia, Japan, New Zeeland and also to make a "coast to coast" road trip in USA and visit the home of movies, Hollywood.

Right now I am working as a webbprogrammer and I do my work directly from home.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

PHILOSOPHY
Live for the moment, tomorrow it might be too late

I am a person that likes seeking adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always ready to lend my couch to new visitors. And I hope that other Couch surfers lend me theirs. For now I have had a few surfers, and I hope to get more. My way of thinking is that when someone comes to stay with me we can have fun and enjoy each other’s company. And especially learn Experiences and Culture from each other.

Interests

I play tennis, love movies, use the computer and of course hang with friends. During the winters I love to ski and during the summers I do scuba dive. I have my own gear and even a backup gear, in case someone wants to dive with me.
When I was younger we used to go to the Alps for some slopes. I have been skiing since I was 3.
And I have also bicycled Vätternrundan 3 times, that is a total of 300km in one day.

Music, Movies, and Books

I actually watch the most type of movies, listen to almost any kind of music and I prefer reading a bit of horror.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can always teach Finnish, and cooking. If we are in a place with good slopes and snow, I can teach how to ski (I have worked as a skiing instructor). If you have any questions regarding computers, I will always be happy to answer them and maybe give a teaching session.
I can also talk about my town, teach you it's history and so on. The house I live in is a historical landmark in my town, so of course I know all it's history.

I like always learning about new cultures. I would like to learn more about new languages. And of course I always like to learn how to cook new dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can always help in the cooking, since I love to cook. I can be good company and talk almost about anything. I can teach things I know. It is always hard to exactly say what I can offer a host, since every host is unike, so things I offer to one host might be different towards other.
