I travel back to Finland every summer to visit friends and family; overland travel is my preferred method due to the damaging impact flying has on the climate. I've had so many good experiences on couchsurfing from previous travels (cycle tour and backpacking in France, Spain and Portugal) that I always prefer staying with locals instead of standard accommodation. It's a great way to get to know people and the culture of a new place.

There would be too many artists to list here I listen to lot's of music like blues, jazz, folk, rock( especially 60s and 70s) some reggae, irish trad. I'm not a fan of most mainstream pop although it does have it's moments sometimes.
