I'm a relaxed and adventurous Finnish guy. Right now I'm working at a construction site, and studying to get into a university (medical school). I really like helping other people and improving myself. Right now I am learning Japanese, and I wish to be able to use it to speak with native speakers.

My hobby is breakdance. I devote a lot of time to it (I try to practice at least 4-5 times a week). Other than that I like to spend my free time by going out with friends for drinks or just hanging out, playing video games, reading and watching movies.

I always travel to new places with an open mind and I want to see the world for myself, rather than reading about it from books or the internet. When I travel, I hope to meet all kinds of people and make new friends. In my opinion the best way to experience a new place is by getting to know the locals, seeing places with them and sharing your stories. That's why I'm on couchsurfing - to meet new people, exchange experiences and have a good time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to travel around Japan by myself for a month, and I'm really glad I made that choice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a native Finnish speaker, and call myself fluent in English. I can teach both of those.
I want to learn more Japanese, but will also happily try to learn other languages too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything except my toothbrush :) I can try to cook some finnish food for you (I am terrible at cooking, sorry in advance...) and I will definitely buy you a beer!
