About Me

A designer and urbanist from Helsinki, Finland. I am an outgoing, active person with a lot of energy. My favourite way to pass the time is to create new ideas and plans for my future trips. I'm a big fan of a busy city life but also enjoy camping and hiking in nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, share experiences and learn new perspectives. Through couchsurfing it's possible to meet people one would never meet otherwise, get a better glance of the culture and even learn new skills. Currently I can't host anybody but I hope I can in the near future. Couchsurfing is a wonderful way to get new friends all over the world which is the greatest thing ever.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's hard to say my favorite band or artist since I like one song there and there. The vibe is the most important thing. I mostly listen to indie and indie electro, but also a lot of French and Brazilian rap. Sometimes I enjoy going to a jazz bar. In Brazil I fell in love with samba and latin rhythmes.

I used to read a lot, but nowadays I tend to watch Netflix instead... I am trying to go back to that habit, though. I like to read books in their original languages, so I read books mostly from Finnish, French or English authors. I like books that handle the problems of real everyday life with a philosophic touch. I would like to read more classics.

I love love love French movies. That's it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living and traveling in Brazil. It taught me so about my self and other people, gave me so many good memories and wonderful friends for a lifetime.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to practice your rusty French, I'm there for you. I can also cook pretty well and make (vegetarian) dishes almost from anything. I find it especially fun to create my own recipes, especially if there's pasta available.

For some reason extreme sports have started to interest me, so if you need company, I'm ready to try anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories about Finland's nightless nights and an insight to Finnish culture (which is actually quite special) over a good glass of red wine or ok kinda beer.
