About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Becoming a better version of myself by 1. getting into weird situations, 2. studying hard and 3. meeting all the people.

ABOUT ME

I am a magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan, bedazzlement, a sensual ravishment and some navel fuzz. I live in Helsinki, about 40 minutes away from Helsinki center.

I'm a graduate from Pop&Jazz Conservatory currently studying musicology in Helsinki University. I keep my body and mind healthy by working out and eating properly. I'm a vegetarian and don't like to get drunk too often. Spontaneity is my middle name, listening to other peoples stories is my pleasure and inner peace is where I'm aiming at.

I would describe myself as a warm-hearted, empathetic and energetic person. Meet me and discover!

I often show my guests around and spend time with them but I can leave you alone if you want.

PHILOSOPHY

World is not complicated but a man is too simple. In short I'm open-minded, modern day hippie with a tendency to sink into deep thinking and philosophizing. This is again something we need to discuss face to face.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking forward to host or hang out as much as possible. It doesn't matter if you're young or old, male or female, Earthling or UFO; everybody is welcome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Apart from a couple misunderstanding, all my hosts and guests have been very kind. I think it's important to know what you want as a traveller and what are you willing to provide as a host.

Interests

Well, being a musician and a musicologist the answer is pretty obvious. In music I'm interested for example in Broadway musicals, art music, modern jazz, r'n'b and hip-hop, Meshuggah, new releases, history and theory, copyright and streaming, and improvisation.

When not 'musicking' I work out with kettlebells, cycle or wander outside at nights. I follow big sports events but I'm not a fan of any team, I love Kubrick, Coen brothers, David Lynch, Wes Andersson, vegetarianism, anti-capitalism, politics, history, spiritual development, philanthropy and woods.
