If these are something you are keen to try, please join me ๐๐ค๐ป*** Kukkuluuruu! ๐How are you? ๐บ๐ผ I'm a very social and spontaneous (so not a typical Finn I'm sorry) guy living in the heart of Helsinki in the Tรถรถlรถ area (About a 10-15min walk from the main railway station). Here's my IG --> http://instagram.com/arihei I enjoy doing sports, dancing (salsa/bachata), and meeting new people, don't be shy, just drop a line. And I love cats (but don't have any right now).

WE ARE NOT HOSTING ANY LONGER. PLEASE READ MY PROFILE IN FULL BEFORE CONTACTING ME WITH A REQUEST. :) NO MASS EMAILS TO ME, THANK YOU. WHEN HOSTING HOSTING ONLY 1 SURFER AT A TIME MAX 2 DAYS. I DO NOT ACCEPT FRIEND REQUEST WITHOUT A MESSAGE. My hubby and I love funny, tactful and trustworthy people - and all the great laughs and happy times we could have together. But we have room to host only one person at a time. We just turned CS back on after turning it off when Covid-19 started. Still working on updating my profile. I used to see myself as a social person but the Covid years have made me more introverted. But also I'm an openminded Finn who grew-up into a responsible adult in NYC's international crowds. I was born and raised in Finland and moved back to Helsinki in 2007 from all together 6-years mainly in NYC and a little bit also in Minneapolis and Greece. I would not go sightseeing with you all over the city but would love to spend time with you at our place chatting. I used to voluntarily organize salsa and other events to bring people together. I'd love to meet all of the CBS salsa dancers - NY mambo on2 is my favorite but have ended up dancing less and less. Instead I knit more and more. I work as the Executive Director of the local cycling advocacy group. Before that I worked on IT Cleantech startups in marketing. Ecological lifestyle in important for me. If you are looking for an apartment i Helsinki join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/235368102105/?fref=nf WHAT TO DO IN HELSINKI AND IN FINLAND Helsinki is really a summer destination but a motivated person will have fun here also during the other seasons too. Helsinki events in English https://www.myhelsinki.fi/en/see-and-do/events Helsinki activities in English: https://www.myhelsinki.fi/en/see-and-do/activities Practical info on Helsinki: https://www.myhelsinki.fi/en/info Journey Planner of the public transport also in English https://www.hsl.fi/en Information about Finland and Finnish society's services to immigrants in 12 languages. https://www.infofinland.fi/fi MOST IMPORTANT Please write "reasonable request" in your CS request if you agree with the following: "I totally agree that Henni should only accept CouchSurfers that understand her place is not a free hostel but a well-kept and important home of two sincere persons. I know to bring my own sheets or a sleeping bag and to participate to the costs of shared food. Now I also know that there are some delicate antique furniture in the house and they must be handled with extra caution. As a conclusion, it's clear to me that she hopes to be contact only by sincerely people and it's obvious and accepted by me that she wants to be hosting only responsible friendly grown-ups". If you are new to CS, please read about the couch requests :). I found it helpful: http://evaandco.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/5-tips-for-the-perfect-couch-request/
Something about me? Im ambivert, leaning occasionally more into introverted side. I like to be in peace, no hassle, going with the flow mostly. Hedonistic traveler and a explorer. Chronically ill, wich makes my traveling harder occasionally, but im happy to share a couch. I travel occasionally with my male friend.
Note: I'm currenly not hosting (upfated 2026-07-06). CURRENT MISSION Learn something new every day, have fun! ABOUT ME Hi there! I'm generally happy and calm but at the same time eager to learn something new every day. I have lived my whole life in Helsinki and have not travelled that much yet but thanks to couchsurfing I've recently got a lot of contacts all around the world. PHILOSOPHY Better ask me in person :)
I am a farm-grown 20th century daughter of the head of the village, who has through many corners of our beloved Earth found herself living back in Finland here in Laajasalo. Greatly connected to the the city by public transport and newly opened bridge for pedestians turn.g the journey into half an hour scenery walk. To the city. I think of everyone as my friend before I am given any reason to not to think so. This is to say I welcome you as you are, with no judgement. I have a strong respect for communal living, but also for personal space. I believe that play is essential for a healthy mind and body. Circus is one approach that I apply to not only stay in touch with my playfulness but also challenge it. I am a presence provocateur.
I used to do modelling. But these days I identify myself at part-time photographer, artist. I try to learn as much as I can and see as much as I can. I believe that everything what we do, come back to us. Hmm...also I want to visit each country on Earth =) I love traveling and Iโm still trying to explore new locations. PHILOSOPHY Philosopy is translated from latin as 'love to knowlidge' Do I need to add anyting else, hardly. Sharing and exchanging point of views and experiences with people is very important to me, so tell me about your personal philosophy!
While exploring life one of the roads took me to Prague, later another one led me to Australia, and now back to Finland.. for now! I have background in art studies, so I love visiting galleries and seeing weird performance stuff. I also like to play my ukulele. PHILOSOPHY I have a tattoo, made by my friend Maria, that says "the holy goof".
I am fairly busy with new job and motorbiking season is approaching in Finland. Whenever I find the time I try to login here to check for messages so please do not expect a quick response from me. For best results your request should be 1-3 days and not too far into the future. I do not plan my goings too far into the future and usually know my schedule for 1-2 weeks in advance. Also having some references and verifications in your profile is a plus. --- Iโm a friendly, respectful, easygoing person and happy with little. Small things make life better and I look at life positively. When traveling I prefer to meet locals, learn, exchange information and also learn new things about myself ๐
I like to meet new people and get new friends and Couchsurfing is a great way for it. I'm glad and helpful person. I enjoy learning new things and share good moments with my friends. I have open mind and I try to live everyday the fullest. Even the smallest things can make me happy. I work in the media office during the weeks 8am-4pm.
