CURRENT MISSION To be a great host and an experienced surfer! ABOUT ME I am an engineering graduate from the United States, and I am currently working in the wonderful city of Jyväskylä, Finland. I am possibly moving to Helsinki, and then somewhere else later on hopefully wherever life takes me. I have always enjoyed traveling and meeting new people. I have hosted and I have been hosted often off of Couchsurfing, and I promise you that staying with me is no mistake! I will never say no to a person needing and extra place to stay. Come on over! Lets make coffee together and cook some dinner! Of course, I don't expect you to read my profile, but if you offer a nice little trinket from whereveryou come from, mention it so I know you read it :P Even if I'm not home, I will try to open my doors for you in an emergency! I cannot always 100% offer a place, but I will usually answer with a maybe, because it's comforting for you to know that you have a place to fall back on in case nothing else works out. must promise, swear, and proclaim that you will take care of my room if I'm not home ;) I am also a host on Airbnb, you can check out my profile there for more reviews! https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/6682429

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have been couchsurfing as a guest and a host on and off for a few years now, and its always been a blast hosting! I live in a shared apartment and space is a little tight, but there is always room for one more person! I will be happy to show you around Jyväskylä, and I will help you travel everywhere around Finland, wherever you wish to go! I am not much of a guide, but I have a lot of connections here and can keep you informed on what is going on and where.
Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy a good book anytime. Mystery novels and Fantasy really grab my attention. Movies aren't my thing really..
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I've packed up one bag of clothes, and I only had a few dollars which I had saved, and moved halfway around the world in search of a new life. I found it successfully!
My Interests
