During the spring semester I was an exchange student in Finland and now I am traveling around Europe with my friend Sarah. You may call me Pong, most people do. When I get back home I'll have graduated and will need to figure out what to do from there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At first I had planned to have this as another source of accommodation if required. As I looked further in the system though, it seems a great way to meet new people in places I know absolutely no one! So I guess that my new reason.

Interests

I'm usually busy doing something geeky in my free time.
But I also enjoy biking, swimming and traveling. Though I guess I'm getting use to that last one. I do enjoy hearing others talking about their culture and history. I've tried to learn other languages but I have never applied myself thoroughly enough to finish learning one well enough to use it.
