Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I finally have a home of my own, that I can share - with whoever I want! Welcoming all nationalities, old, young, male, female...
and the possibility for travelling again - broaden my WorldFamily.
Prefer to know a new place by/with its habitants, instead of through the tourist broshure at the hotel.
Comfort is not my keyword, but passion, compassion, expanding...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is f-ing amazing - without doing!
But when it comes to travelling: Im one of few who managed to hitchhike on Kiel canal with a cargo ship.
Hitchhiked with small private aircrafts in USA, and Sweden
and...with a truck loaded with silver bullions in Zambia. Sleeping on silver in hot Africa sun - imagine my sunburn!
Buiding a scrimpfarm (including roads, houses) in Mozambique - without machines, only hand tools, singing, dancing
Rescued my Mom from a probable death - from a shipwreck in Red Sea, and from dissapearing in a ice crack in Spetsbergen. (and had to sit with her on 4 hour polarbear watchout shift with a rifle!)
Got a permission from Foreign-/costom minister of Sierra Leone, and the WorldBank to start a business: salvage shiprecks outside Freetown. But lost the business due to the war.

Teach, Learn, Share

Im sharing Me/Alex - through my art, my work as therapist/sweatlodgeleder, but mainly through meetings, interactions: listening, doing Nothing... thats my teaching.

What I Can Share with Hosts

With Host? My energy, curiousity...and my stories I guess. I can cook, (and I happily assist you in your garden with a shovel and my creative mind)

Share as a Host: same...and my home/my sanctuary, simple and small, peaceful but full of energy.
Surrounded by forest and lakes (lots of hiking trais). Only 10 min. to the city Norrköping.
"Cooking party" (cooking together to loud and crazy music) after a hike and a swim in "my" lake.
Storytelling or/and meditation by the Fire (inside or in my garden). A tour in Norrköping.
If your lucky (or unlucky?) we´ll do a sweatlodge, or paint in my art studio
