I'm quite social and energetic. I like sporty life and conversations and nature and animals. And many other things. I live with my kids (4 and 6 years old) in Kartanonkoski. This area is like a big kindergarten.

I do office work in construction. And some part time consulting as entrepreneur. I kind of like my work, I can do some positive change there. But I really have ambition only for growing my kids. I like to do it fun. I'm a pro in misunderstanding bad behavior as if they tried something good.

I try to have a balance between my impact on environment and keeping activities. Traveling as an example. I don't fly much. I've visited most of my countries on Interrail and road trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to widen perspective. It seems there are very much of people with open mind and doing their own way in Couchsurfing. Some of the most interesting conversations I'll never forget have occurred with couchsurfers. And when traveling I hope I can experience local life and local way to see things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kite surfing on an abandon island in Philippines for three days.

And moving forward is the most amazing thing in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think best way to learn can be to explain something to other person. Conversation with anybody who loves what he/she is doing is always a pleasure. And I'm open to sharing experiences with anybody who thinks sustainability is important.

I can share experience at least in raising kids and balcony gardening. And my work stuffs if you happen to be interested in project alliance for instance.
