About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm easygoing guy who recognize word humor. Very open minded to all kinds of stuff. You can't shock me easily. I'd like to say that I'm also easy to get along with. Also little lazy on writing essays about myself or anything else. So rather lets meet, have fun time and get to known each others. Hope to see you soon!

PHILOSOPHY

Stress and hurry is only mental state. We can decide to just relax.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to participate by both traveling and hosting. Considering about joining some CS-events at my city too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have surfed couple times in Tokyo, Japan and once in Seoul, South Korea and in Dublin. Hosted only one guy through CS and twice an exchange students from Japan. I don't really get couch requests too often and when I do sadly I might be little slow to respond as I sometimes forget to check these sites regularly.

Interests

My hobbies are igo (which is Chinese board game), anime, tv-shows, judo(have been on break for years now...), tennis, snowboarding.

Studying also Japanese language but its quite on and off.

Music, Movies, and Books

Radio, usually pop style channels and of course some Japanese radio channels as well.

Don't read books but I like to watch all kind of movies not thrillers or horror movies thou.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went through quite a trouble to get in Japan for exchange studies in 2012. And hurray that I did! Wonderful times.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn more Japanese language.

If you ask me I can teach some Finnish phrases or words and of course iGo / go / baduk / weigi (that Chinese board game I mentioned in my hobbies)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to bring small souvenirs, maybe chocolate. Although I might not have much space in luggage so that why only small...
