Overview
About Me
I like squirrels. And of course many other things. Right now I'm pretty lost in life in general, perhaps this and other people will help me one step closer to eventually figuring out what's really important in life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I hope to meet a lot of new people from different places and maybe spend a night or two living with them as well. Get to know other cultures and ways of live.

Music, Movies, and Books
Too many things. Favorite band would probably be finnish Ensiferum but I do listen to all sorts of music, a lot of electronic music actually.
I love comics but I seem to be pretty picky about which kind of drawing style appeals me. But I still read a lot of different styled pieces. (Jeff Smith and Guy Delisle come to my mind first when I think of author names)
Usually I just go to a library and select a bunch that look interesting. Love reading books, sometimes not just a priority in life.
I love the Lord of the Rings for their universe and since I used to read Hobbit so many times. Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki, Tarantino, CNolan, WAnderson have never diappointed. All films that make you have mixed feelings or twist your mind are interesting and usually make me love their brilliancy. Often people ask about my favorite film and it's just an impossible question. I watch any films regardless of their genre or theme and in a way think that every piece can teach us something or have an emotional effect differently to different people. I was also working in a cinema before.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I quit my job and apartment to go work as a travel guide in the north of Finland.
Being as a volunteer (four times so far) in the Midnight Sun Film Festival held in finnish lapland.
Hitchhiking around France and Switzerland. Now also Indonesia.
Hiked 200km in the hot Hungarian countryside. We were just dropped to an unknown place and had to survive without phones, contacts and with just a bit of cash. A one-of-a-kind scout adventure.
All the other crazy experiences as a scout; being as a sauna guide in scorching hot world scout jamboree held in Japan in 2015, travelguiding to foreign scouts in Finland...
