I finished a cross-country tour across the United States of America in December 2016. San Francisco to Miami.
I recently got a job in Amsterdam, so I'll be living there for a while.

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new people, learning about their goals, views, to broaden my own.

ABOUT ME

I'm a calm and easygoing guy. I'm open-minded and l like to have discussions with other like-minded people.

I was raised in a small town in Sweden with an older brother and two loving parents. Stayed there until I finished high school. Then I moved to Gothenburg to study Japanese for a year. Moved again to another town where I studied Embedded systems for a year before changing it to Web Development. Education is free in Sweden, so it's nice to try out stuff.
After 2 years of Web Development, I studied abroad in Australia. When I came back I started working at a digital agency for 6 months. Then I decided I wanted to travel so I did 2 long distance bike tours within 6 months.
Been working in Amsterdam for the last year.

Check me up on FB or Instagram (antonfuruholm) and I have another for bike trips (@humblecyclist). I also have my one website which I'm working on, https://www.furuholm.com.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biked from the west coast to the east coast of USA. 3200 miles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about web development (front-end). Started with it 2013.

I know a lot about muscle building. Mostly from experience, but I've also read up about it but never really studied it. I started going to the gym around 2009.

I have done some photography, but not on a professional level.
I have studied a little Japanese so I can teach some, but I need to be taught more.
I probably know a thing or two more :)
