While exploring life one of the roads took me to Prague, later another one led me to Australia, and now back to Finland.. for now!

I have background in art studies, so I love visiting galleries and seeing weird performance stuff. I also like to play my ukulele.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a tattoo, made by my friend Maria, that says "the holy goof".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Years ago I lived and housed my guests in a bigger community apartment in Tapanila (in Helsinki), where I had six fabulous flatmates and a huge kitchen. Most of the surfers, if not all, have stayed as friends even after their visit to Finland and few of them have even come back to re-visit us. I've also done couchsurfing a bit myself, last time alone in Spain, and it was amazing.

Interests

My latest interest is to make perfect sima (in english I think it's "mead"?) out of different ingredients: last time I brewed rosemary sour mead ans it was DELICIOUS! Back in the days when I was hosting few Irish kids at my home I had made traditional Finnish kilju (eng. sugar wine). After tasting one of 'em said "tastes like a martini!" A succes!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read philosophy though I usually end up using it as a some kind of a sad source of my bad jokes.
