About Me

I'm a easy-going person interested in science (physics in particular), movies, sports, history and last but not least travelling and getting to know the world a little better.

By day I do research in physics, by night I do more physics or something fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been travelling quite a lot with my fiancee and I've noticed that the best trips have been when we've had the opportunity to meet local people. They have really helped us to get inside the local mindset and make the city become much more enjoyable.

I believe couchsurfing is the easiest way to get a peek at the local lifestyle and that is why I'm here.

Naturally, this also works the other way and I'm more than ready to show visitors from other cultures the beauties of Helsinki and Finnish culture. I might not be able to get a couch for you but you can always ask.

I haven't read too many books but here are some of the more memorable ones: Dune, Count of Monte Cristo, Egyptian

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
