About Me

Please read the "Additional Information" under "My home" before sending a request :)

I am as happy to host people as I am to surf with people. Hosting people is the closest I can come to traveling when I'm tied down by work or studies. Ever since I first tried CS I can't go back to "normal" traveling. Meeting locals is just too fun and giving.

HOSTING
I like hosting people I can interact with. So when I host I love sharing and creating new experiences with my guests. Right now I'm especially interested in meeting people who are open to think and discuss about really any topic a bit deeper. Hopefully we can share some wisdom with each other :)

SURFING
As a surfer I can if needed be low maintenance, however I love learning more about my hosts and the local everyday life. I can be fascinated by even the smallest thing, as long as it's something new to me. I also like joining social events and meet the friends of my hosts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've Couchsurfed in the summer of 2010 on a InterRail trip with my friend Joonas, and absolutely got hooked on it. In the summer of 2011 I hosted 2 hitchhikers and got interested in hosting also. Now I am just as excited to go traveling as I am to host people. Since then I've hosted a bunch more people. Hosting really is the next best way to experience different cultures, after traveling yourself!

Interests

I really like exchanging ideas and experiences with other people. Especially if you have deeper knowledge about some topic, I'll most likely be interested to hear more about it! It can be anything from

  • culture
  • cooking
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • hiking
  • biology
  • philosophy
  • physics
  • psychology
  • science
  • hitchhiking
  • spirituality
  • quantum physics

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've gotten to meet people who lived in the rainforest and take part of some aspects of their culture. I'm very grateful for those experiences, which has been truly life-changing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

There are no friends or enemies, only teachers. There are no positive or negative experiences, only possibilities to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully interesting and thought provoking discussions. I spend a lot of time on understanding myself, others and the world. Let's see where our discussions take us :)
