I’ve been living, studying, and working in Helsinki for 5 years and love connecting with people from all over 🤝 Whether you live here in Finland or are passing through, let’s link up for laughs, shared experiences, and stories 🤠 👾 🛋 🏄‍♂️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting and forming connections with new people, and CS is a safe platform to do that.

Interests

I enjoy listening to people’s stories and listening to them explain what it's like to live where they come from. Big fan of all sports, reading, and beer, too. As far as hobbies go, I like using my hands. I like woodworking, foraging, weight lifting, and film photography with my Nikon F 🤓

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m always up for doing fun and spontaneous things. Especially enjoying nature and doing cool shit outside. (Sompa)sauna lovers hmu! ♨️

What I Can Share with Hosts

I travel for work often and thus don’t need CS hosts. But when I’m in town, I can offer my time and advice on what to do in Helsinki for guests or visitors coming to Finland. Usually am up to grab a beer, go for a stroll, or host if my schedule allows it.
