About Me

I'm one part a mad scientist and one part entrepreneur. Curiosity has driven me to both science and travelling. One of the guidelines I try to follow is, when you don't know what to do, pick the choice, that will at least make a good story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now I am on a honeymoon with my wife, on a roadtrip through US. We have had some nice experiences of coachsurfing on the Transmongolian railway, so we are trying it again. Coachsurfing nets you better experiences and stories than plain hotels. And, yeah, it's cheaper.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like electronic dance music but also hardstyle techno and a bit of heavy metal. My favourite movie is Fight Club and the favourite book is the Hobbit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Making a Finnish translation and music video of the weird viral The Fox song. It went viral as well (in Finland).

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, curiosity is my vice, so I am eager to learn pretty much everything. There is stuff I have picked on along my life that I can share. For example about travelling in Europe, or the Trans-Siberian railway for example. Our about the bureaucracies involved in doing business in Finland. Or cooking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from my travels and maybe even some business contacts. We can also cook pretty decent food :)
