I'm a 34-year-old man from Anttola, Southeastern Finland, living in a small town by Lake Saimaa in Finland's lake district. Raised on clean water and clean air. I'm not a very outgoing person, so I've been looking for online pals. I'm also a lousy solo traveller so I aim to make good friends to visit, and good friends are welcome to stay with me also - if you ever end up in rural Finland that is.
I have met friends from IP on three trips (make that four) so far, in China and Korea. I also went to Saigon, Vietnam once, but still haven't been to Japan.
Requests
Long-term friendship and Korean practice. I'm mostly interested in Asian countries (and Europe), which is reflected in my filters. In addition to Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam are countries I would like some insight on. Thailand, why not as well.
Sorry to all guys who look at my profile, but I have no shortage of male friends - I made two in 9 days in China alone. One guy even gave me his spare phone when mine wouldn't work. Crazy.
Language Exchange Requests
Would like some Korean practice but I don't need to be taught, I have my flashcards and textbooks. Chatting with native speakers is pretty useful! 편하게 이야기하자.
I can't really teach Finnish apart from basic words, but ask if you're interested. I'm a linguist and historian by training but not much of a teacher.
Hobbies & Interests
Firstly, I like cats and I don't like dogs all that much. Important.
Computer gaming, reading anything I can get my hands on. I especially like science fiction and other speculative fiction.
Also cycling and cross-country skiing, depending on the season. Love mountains but have a fear of heights.
Occasionally I like to travel. Been to Germany and Sweden lots of times, other countries a li'l less.
Favorite Music
K-pop (I can talk about other things too, I swear), vaporwave, industrial metal, grindcore. I'm not too picky.
Favorite Movies
Total Recall (1990), Minority Report
If you liked Interstellar a lot, skip this profile, because I never seem to get along with people who like it.
Favorite TV Shows
The Expanse, MacGyver, Hello Counselor, Knowing Bros
Favorite Books
With Fire and Sword by Henryk Sienkiewicz, the Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski (haven't finished yet), various sci-fi and cyberpunk works.
