Oh hello there, it looks like you're viewing my profile right now.

I'm Heikki, you can also call me Henry if you feel that Finnish language double-consonant words are from an alien world.

I was born and raised in Helsinki and lived in the city for over 30 years (and counting), so supposedly I should know my way around there quite well.

I'm also a rather frequent traveller and somewhat of a foodie. Street-food, fine-dining, you can count me in. I also like wine and beer, sometimes in large quantities.

I travel to South-East Asia every year, and the US almost as often. Happy to share experiences.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

CS is a very interesting channel to meet people.

I had my first proper hosting experience in summer 2017 and that was simply awesome! Unfortunately I'm often too busy to host on weekdays, but weekends work much better. You can try your luck anyway.

Used to be a rocket scientist! Well, not really. Just a satellite engineer. But that was a little boring so I do mobile games now.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I've been reading embarrassingly little lately, but when I do, it's usually popular economics, sociology, and psychology, such as Malcolm Gladwell and Steven Levitt.

I mostly listen to trance, chillgressive, psybient etc. electronic house stuff. And sometimes rock. Because all people in Finland listen to rock. We play rock at weddings, too.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you how to play 8-ball or Clash Royale, despite that I'm not particularly stellar at either. I certainly won't teach you cook any Finnish dishes.
