About Me

NOTE: My profile says I am in London, this is to make it easier for prospective guests to find my place. However, officially I am in Reading, but it takes 25 minutes by train to go to central London from my front door.

Hello!

I am Jussi, a 27-year-old nerd! I finished up my B.Sc degree in 2019, worked a few years and went back to uni in 2021 to get an M.Sc. Currently working in fusion energy research, it's my absolute passion! Math, physics, and saving the world, what more can you ask for?

I am currently living in a private 1-bedroom apartment in central Reading, half an hour from central London. Feel free to drop by!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and new cultures. In addition, helping others is helping myself! I've met a load of great people through CS, and want to keep doing that for as long as I can!

Interests

-As my profile suggests, science. Mathematics, computer science, physics... You name it.

-Music, fanatic musician! If you can sing or play anything, come over and let us jam! Even if you cant, let's do it anyways. I love to learn about new bands and whatnot! I'd also like to teach you something. My favorite genres are probably metal, classical, hard bop jazz, rap, hip hop and so.

-Debating: politics, science, society!

-Art in general: especially street art, audiovisual art, and contemporary art

-Sports! Apart from your everyday gym training, I love parkour and martial arts as well. Currently practicing Muay Thai.

-Really bad and really good books: reading is a passion!
