About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To quit the rat race

ABOUT ME

"I don't have to agree with you to like you, or respect you."

Unusual Finn (that's what she said!)
The Doubleman (yeah, i've got way too many double letters in my name)
Jellyfish (I might've not been too active on the surf in the first days)
Yank (I admit, my english IS awesome :)
A horrible human being (I didn't like Avatar and my friend.. well, he likes it a lot!)

There's few of the names that I've been called in last couple of years. What else? Strangely interested in mechanic stuff and basics of how everything works, the so-called behind the scenes section of things. Spending way too much time playing guitar and writing lyrics. Don't really like beer but still end up drinking it.

The rest is for you to find out, I reckon.. except the fact that I'm completely useless in cooking stuff :)

PHILOSOPHY

Everything tastes better when you've got sand between your toes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's always a pleasure to help travellers around the world. Help others and hopefully you'll receive help sometime in the future, that's how it works in my mind!

"The one who helps should never remember, and the one who receives help should never forget."

Music, Movies, and Books

Music.. well, everything played by a human being. In person, not through computer softwares etc. Main styles would be rock/heavy, from old to new.

And especially all the music when played LIVE in some small corner pub.

Favorite movies and books are way too various to describe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Australian outback, jungles in Queensland, gigantic waves on the surf, fjords in northern Norway, amazing nature in Lapland.. Yeah there's more than one but who can really say what's the one single most amazing thing you've seen in your life?

If you can, go and see more!
