Currently I live in Lieksa, Finland.

I like to explore new countries and meet new people. That’s the main reason I’m here.

It’s extremely exciting for me to study different cultures and the history, so I am always open to communication!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I have watched quite a few movies. I especially like historical films like “Lawrence of Arabia” and “Barry Lyndon”.

I’m interested in listening to various music, but preferably live.

I read books on a wide list of topics, and it’s hard for me to name my favorite books. I really remember the collection of Turgenev’s stories.
