Overview
About Me
I’m always interested in hearing about another person's life story; there is so much to learn from listening to others and to share stories and experiences. I like to talk about the big questions in life.
I would describe myself being a multipotentialite (someone with many interests and creative pursuits) and especially a creator of stuff. Food, handicrafts, or any other kind of work involving using my body and mind is what I do best.
I have a degree in design and product development and when not travelling I work as a UX-designer.
Last year I took a sabbatical and cycled through Europe, South Korea and Japan. I came home and quit my job, met a wonderful girl, moved to Canada for half a year, and now we are cycling back to Sweden from Spain.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The best way to experience a country, the culture and the people living there is to spend time in someones home. Not only for the conversation but also to have a look inside a home. There are many things describing a person by how it looks inside the home. Not in a judgemental way, only because of curiosity.
Interests
I love being active, outdoors in the nature and to use my body and mind at the same time. Speed and heights are always thrilling.

Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to everything.
Don't watch to many movies.
Read everything I can get my hands on! Reading is my way of consuming.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I stayed in a rural village in China I met an old man. This man was the happiest man I've ever met. I lived in an oddly shaped stone house together with his wife. Every morning he rode his bike to the market to sell baskets made of bamboo, after that he returned home to eat with his wife and started crafting more baskets. Although we didn't understand a word of each other this man did teach me a lot about life and happiness.
