ABOUT YOU Most of all we want to meet you and hear your story! But since it's the custom on CouchSurfing, I'll also write something... ABOUT ME Grew up in Finland with two major passions: computer programming and learning languages (I was interested in English, Russian and Japanese). Met wife at the university, she was an exchange student from Tokyo and I was also applying to be an exchange student to Japan at that time. Happened to get accepted as an exchange student in her university in Tokyo. Went there for 2 years and learned Japanese. We lived for several years together in Finland, while she studied and I wrote some apps. Then we moved to Tokushima, Japan, and we've been here since 2010.
