I live in Helsinki, Finland with my wife. We speak fluent English and Noora also speaks fluent Italian and some Spanish and German. We lead a relatively laid-back, open-minded, slightly chaotic life. We have two cats; they are probably the nicest, most well-behaved cats in the world. We don't live in luxury but we do have a comfy couch. Could also offer you a cold beer from our fridge and an occasional dinner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love music (mostly rock).

Noora reads quality books and has written a couple of novels herself. For me it's mostly non-fiction and newspapers.
