About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Im looking for a place to call home, or somewhere to place a couch... maybe learn how to write on the side.

ABOUT ME

a bit of a slow learner which means that I do every mistake at least twice - this has been a great source for experience!
Combine that with the curiosity of a child and you got yourself a person that can ruin your birthday cake by mistake and try to make it up to you by filling your living room with balloons.

PHILOSOPHY

Roads are not made for destinations but for journeys
- Dali Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As soon as I found myself a home, you can be sure you well be very welcome to find yourself relaxing on my couch.
- Until then Ill just try to make the world, and my world, a better place - one acquaintance at the time

Interests

Learning, in every way. Trying, almost every activity i get the opportunity to participate in.
Tend to spend most of my time training martial arts (Mixed martial art), writing, reading and working with the amazing people at Amnesty International.

Music, Movies, and Books

Work that tend to come back to me and hit me in the head like a boomerang (the pleasant way) is;

Movies:
The Hours (even dough I had a hard time with Virginas book)
Fight Club (both book and novel this time)

Music:
Buck 65 (combining raping, folk music and music in general in a most creative way combines with poetic lyrics- amazing!)

Slipknot (no better medicine to turn a bad week upside down with this musical hurricane)

Foo Fighters, Lifehouse, Cky, Dylan, Mumford and sons -MUSIC! Love it!

There are few genres I dont listen to.

Some good books;
Dark water by Joyce Carol Oates
Crime and punishment - Dostoyevsky masterpiece(also works fine as a pillow)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Found myself sailing a boat with no land in sight for the first time.
Found myself on a plane towards a new adventure.
Got lost in Quito and got guided home by a street gang.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can be a good listener, your drinking buddy or maybe a partner in crime.
