CURRENT MISSION

To be happy by making people around me happy.

ABOUT ME

I found myself studying mechanical engineering some years ago. Quite soon after the beginning i noticed that all the other students are interested in weird things like cars and machines which surprisingly weren't my thing at all. That's why I started to take part in an theatre project in my school. It changed my life. I suddenly met hundreds of creative and open people, who I could relate with and who arrange parties like no one else.

I'm living with my girlfriend in a two room flat.

I'm currently occupied as a freelance photographer and a research assistant in Technical research center of Finland. My former jobs include peacekeeping in Kosovo, substituting my former english teacher and teaching human centered technology in my university.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything that's fun and doesn't hurt anyone is most likely worth doing regardless of whether it's useful or even reasonable in any other way than just being fun.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting and visiting other surfers whenever I have the chance!

Here's some useful links about Tampere:
http://bit.ly/bJIwHb - google map of places I think are worth seeing in Tampere.
http://eat.fi/tampere - a map of all restaurants in tampere. In Finnish unfortunately, but at least you'll get the places and reviews.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think references tell this the best. I'm looking for more all the time.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Propably was the year spent in war torn Kosovo. Meeting people who had gone through it all, discussing with them and learning about their lives and dreams.

教，学，和分享

I play the guitar and sing and I've decided to challenge myself by promising to (try) to learn your favourite song so I can play it to you when you arrive. So please include two or three of you favourite tunes to your couch request with a youtube-link to the songs and I'll do my best to try to play one of them to you. I'd very much prefer songs in english. :) Can't promise for sure that I can, but I'll try.

I'm also a lot into photography so i'd be more than happy to give small workshops on portrait lighting, photoshop basics, bw-film processing, photo composition and most of all, endless discussions on what makes a photo good or bad.
