I'm an outgoing and social 26-year old finnish guy, currently doing a one-year student exchange in Paris. I'm majoring in social- and cultural anthropology but trying to make my way towards documentary filmmaking.

Also a freelance photo/videographer and writer, climber, adventurer and a decent cook.

I would love to be able to speak several languages fluently and play an instrument but I'm lazy, so I manage with a few and try to make friends with people who play. I sing sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On my trips I've met amazing people and enjoyed their hospitality, hopefully brought some good moments along. Haven't had a chance to host too much but my doors are open if my situation in life allows it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many different kinds of movies, music and books. I try not to get stuck with only certain genres of any. Just read a great book? Know a great jazz artist or a beautiful movie? Let's share!

At the moment really into documentary film, which hopefully will be a profession some day. Paris is a brilliant city for cinema lovers.
