Philosophy love the life, life is a journey, be flexible like water

CURRENT MISSION Looking for small adventures, meeting new people, learning stuff and generally just enjoying life! ABOUT ME I'm a Finnish guy who got into Couchsurfing when 6 months Erasmus exchange in Czech Republic changed into working and for almost 2 years there. Nowadays back in Finland but the feeling left and I like to host when possible. I'm always interested to learn and see something new and also curious about almost everything. PHILOSOPHY Relax, it's going to be okay.

CURRENT MISSION To throw myself at Life ABOUT ME I am a creative, inspired man. I like many things, I like to laugh and to make jokes. I love to run marathons, and even started running in hills and on trails with minimalist shoes. I liked to smoke as a teenager, then occasionally throughout my twenties, then stopped. Same with mouth tobacco, or 'nuuska' in Finnish, which I rarely use anymore. I enjoy smoking shisha, or 'nargile' in Turkish, but this is very rare, too. I consider myself to be health conscious, which includes the mind, body and spirit. I practice yoga, I meditate, and I try to avoid eating animals. I never try to change others lives, whether they like to eat meat or smoke, it's their choice. I had my hair dreadlocked for about a couple of years and loved how natural it felt. Years later, my hair is growing back. PHILOSOPHY I am an existentialist sort of person. I love to challenge the norm. But mainly I believe that love and peace are to be found everywhere, in anyone, all of the time.

It's hard to describe a person who I have never met for the first time, but with whom I still spend all of my days. I suppose I'm quite a carefree, geeky and curious person. Although I like talking and interacting with people a lot, I also enjoy my solitude, when I can just read, observe things, get either lost in my thoughts or write them down. Volunteering and community activities have been very important and ongoing part of my life for past 10 years. I’ve been doing youth work, preventive work for substance abuse, volunteering in music festivals, event organisation, language exchanges, developmental co-operation, scientific networking in the sustainability field and eu youth projects. Currently I work full-time in the administration of a youth ngo. Also used to live in Japan for 2 years in total before moving back to Tampere to finish my master's degree from sociology.

We are an open-minded and green family with four members: Johanna (45), Mikko (43), V. (17) and O. (15). Usually we host and travel together, but depending on the situation you might meet any combination of us. I'm a generalist and an active citizen. I'm an invividual entrepreneur. In addition to that I volunteer for different causes (e.g. green politics, refugees, mental health, culture). People tend to describe me friendly, helpful and logical. My husband Mikko is a senior software developer. He is passionate about his job, open and straightforward, and enjoys talking to people. We have a good and pretty equal relationship and try to put effort to keep it that way. Our two children are both teenagers. The older one is quite introverted and mostly likes to spend time in solitude to read books or create art. The younger one enjoys entertainment and sports and is more outgoing and eager to meet people and maybe even chat a bit in English. Generally they tend to adapt well to having people around or visiting new places. Whatever happens, they take part in it in their own way or invent their own activities. There's a chance that our guests may meet more people than just our family members during their stay. We live in a cohousing community, and our neighbours and friends are always welcome for a visit. Although the profile is under my name, almost all the references are about our family - most of the time we've hosted and traveled together.

Biker, camper, hiker, runner. Film fan, book reader, church visitor (for achitecture). Visual work, journalism, communications, uni studies. Leftist, feminist. Cat owner. !!!! I DECLINE COPY-PASTE REQUESTS. I want our experience to be good, and I find non-personal requests a bit disrespectful (our home isn't a free hostel), so please write one reason why you'd like to surf at our home — then I know you read this profile and you’re aware of the cats etc :-) I'm lively, enthusiastic about many things, and I know how to throw a good party, but essentially I'm calm - I'm happy to live in city, but I respect quiet home evenings and love exploring the nature. I am happy to meet new people, and I am a yapper when in good mood, but I also enjoy my own company and enjoy travelling alone. As a host: I would be happy to show you around the city, but please, don't take it personally if you have to discover the city by yourself - my days are sometimes quite long. Will be super happy to share a short walk, a glass of wine, few thoughts or a film in the evenings, anyway. I don't usually party on weekdays, and we wish to keep our house quiet in the night time. As a guest: I am quite independent, and typically not in need of guidance with the city etc. Of course I will be happy to go together, but it’s not necessary. Usually I am just hoping for a place to relax and share some thoughts.

I am outgoing! I love to travel and explore the world. My goals are to experience cultures, meet new friends and create life-long memories.

CURRENT MISSION To explore different cultures and traditions ABOUT ME i am decent,fun loyal person .. i like to go out every where ,any time , i like to do crazy adventures and to explore new things .. PHILOSOPHY Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.
