NOTE: sorry for my low response rate, I've been too busy for Couchsurfing lately. Now I have some more time though, so feel free to send a request :)

I'm Jaakko from Helsinki, Finland.

I'm interested in film, music and social interaction. Always down for going for a beer, or to the cinema, or exploring an abandoned building, or chilling at a harbour, or driving around at night and listening to some experimental music - or a lot of things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostels are fun but it's mostly other travellers living there. I think it's way more interesting to meet the locals and see how they live and get a better grasp of the place - and of course you get to know some cool people at the same time.

Interests

I've been getting into photography lately, and I really like it. I'm a quite heavy consumer of music and film and I'm always ready to talk about them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love going ice swimming and after that to a 100 degree sauna to warm up, and then repeating the cycle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share wild stories about Finland and it's culture.

I know a little bit of guitar, would be cool to learn some more.
