About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To hitchhike to Arctic Ocean!

ABOUT ME

I'm not your normal Finnish guy as I'm way too social! I've been travelng around Europeand been to China two times, 2004 and 2007, and I love the country and the people therein. I'm fun and weird and love swimming in different kinds of places - it always makes me glad to find a place where I can skinnydip:) I found me love in China, a beautiful Russian girl who shares my life in in Finland now. With her and my friends, my life is full of happenings and joy.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live: respect others, but expect that respect back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer place to sleep and things to discuss about this very very weird and interesting world of us. I also would like to take opportunity of meeting different kinds of people around the world, to broaden both my and your worldview.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got my first couchsurfer experience 2009 when I hitchhiked to Norway:)

Interests

Oops, they are many and various - icehole swimming, Anime, barhopping, Chinese language, discussions on the arcane and wondrous - but also wearing fake beard, funny glasses and goofing around with my friends:)

  • partying
  • anime
  • swimming
  • beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

Ach, Asimov anyone? William Gibson? I enjoy fiction and fantasy: I live too much to like stories of "real life".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2004, I was in BeiDaiHe, China with Alona. We witnessed the gathering of luminescent shrimp at the beach during one night - swimming in the ocean made our bodies glow blue-green. Local fishers said it is really rare event, not even many locals would witness it yearly. It is the single most amazing thing I have experienced in my life.
