I'm a 35 year old entrepreneur from Helsinki, Finland – traveling across the Americas at a slow pace, enjoying every place I get to see. I'm especially looking for any opportunities to be near the beach and nature!

People call me ambitious, hard-working, easy going and quiet. I like to challenge myself to learn about new things, such as learning new languages, cultures, and skills.

I talk natively Finnish, fluent with English, and a little bit of Spanish and Portuguese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to connect with locals and see the world from their perspective.

Non-smoker, and don't like to party and never go to night clubs. No, literally I never go to clubs, I absolutely despise them, I do however really like coffee, reading books, getting to know the local people and culture and learning to cook foods around the world.

Hope to cross paths with you!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I've been a playing the guitar close to 20 years, in bands, by myself, on stages… music is a big part of my life and to name just a few artists or albums would be a disservice. That said, I liketo listen anything from Led Zeppelin to Post Malone, La Vida Boheme to Kent, Classical to Grindcore, Punk to R&B, across all ages and genres. It's Music.

Books: Similar to music, but all time favorites are Papillon by Henri Charrière, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, Principles by Ray Dalio, 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss, Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh and What If by Randall Munroe, etc.

Movies: The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jumanji, The Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club, City Of God, Léon, Spirited Away, American History X, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Whiplash, Django Unchained, WALL-E, American Beauty, Dark Knight, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In one week sold my apartment, quit my job, gave all of my stuff away and booked a one-way ticket to South America.
