About Me

Hello my friend

Update 2024-01.

When you write your request please try reading it once from the perspective of a host. What would be interesting for me to know related to your trip?

An advice for a request is to write it personal. Me and other hosts that I know decline copy-paste-requests right away. For me that is a request that is just generic and you could send to anyone, ie nothing personal directed to me.

If you’ll arrive late or leave early, please mention in request. If you are here for clubbing or a concert, my house is not the right option.
I can offer you blankets and towels.
If you arrive by bike you have an extra point right away ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing is caring.
I get interesting input from others. See a piece of the world through their glasses and meet nice people across the world.

Interests

I love football. Especially the Swedish league, it’s not the highest level but it’s much passion. I watch both men’s and women’s football, about as much.
By profession am I a civil engineer.
I like my job, it is varying and I get to see different things and places.
I enjoy exercising. In order to stay motivated I sign up for different races. Currently I am preparing to the Swedish classics with is a combination of one race of each: cross country, biking, swimming and running.
I go running every week and if you do it too I'd be happy to show you a nice loop in the city.

I had a community garden before and want to get one again to improve my knowledge in growing plants as well as I have a little interest in becoming a little self sufficient in food.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like funny books, such as the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. My favorite author is Erlend Loe from Norway. Arto Paasilinna is also a very good author.
All though I don’t read books a lot these days. I’m that old that I have a subscription on the newspaper.

My taste in music is diverse. I like ordinary pop music and EDM.

I don't use to watch movies. When I do, I use to get disappointed. One exception is the very artistic movie Life of Vincent.

Instead of movies i watch live sports. The benefit is that it’s always different and there might be an expected winner but you never know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experiencing the cherry blossoms in Washington DC was incredible. The atmosphere was amazing with all the people and the beautiful flowers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am curios and want to learn as much as possible. Especially when it comes to stuff in engineering. I want to understand how things work.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel memories, great vegetarian recipies, a positive mind set. Advice on what to do around town.
