CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to have fun, be happy, spread that joy and to excel in whatever field I'm interested in

ABOUT ME

I'm a swedish guy who got into this through a friend. I thought it sounded like a fun thing, and meeting people from different cultures is most often a really rewarding experience for me.
Other than that I'm quite entusiastic about stuff, life in general. I like entertainment in different forms, and I have always liked to teach stuff. I guess I can teach swedish, al though I have never tried before. I like to share my experience with others aswell as hear different perspectives than my own. I like discussing, reading, fantasizing, humour, food, beer and exploring different countries.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll come back to that one...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, this far I have only hosted a friend many times and been hosted once. So I can't really say that I have contributed that much., But stuff might change. I'd like to contribute by maybe sharing my couch if the person I meet feels okay (since I have 2 roommates aswell) and I feel that I can trust he or she. But I'm always open for a cup of coffee, a beer or just a chat about everything and anything.
Feel free to contact me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had my friend (who's a member here) sleep over at my place several times but I don't really count that as CS-ing?! My first CS-experience was good though! I slept at a friend Lisa's place in Austria and it was great! They were so warm and welcoming! That made me want to make this profile!

Interests

My info says some of it, but I also have a knack for gaming, playing cards and competition in general. I find that really amusing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I mostly enjoy dramas, sometimes romantic, adventure-movies, and horror films if I'm with friends as well. Some of my favourites are: The Shawshank Redemption, Titanic, Sunshine, Into the Wild (really inspirational), Fight Club...
Music: Anything with a vocal and a guitar makes my mood rise, but more specific I enjoy Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Lifehouse, Radiohead, Muse, Four Tops, Coldplay, The killers, swedish Kent, Hakan Hellstrom, Mew... and the list can go on. But music with feeling. I kind of have started do like Dub-step aswell. In the old days I listened to my share of psytrance as well. Most it depends on moods :)
Books: The first one in the Stieg Larsson thrilogy
Some of the Harry Potter books
Books about psychology is interesting
Right now I'm reading "The God Delusion", which is intersting as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It has got to be diving, or hiking in the swedish mountains. I can't decide, but both we're really good in very different ways! I loved the diving since it gave you a really calm peace of mind as well as freedom, but the hiking just makes you feel so fresh and at peace in nature. No cell phones, no electricity, nothing. I loved it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I can play the guitar some, soon do the Rubic Cube again (only did it in some over 1 minute thou, so not super fast), play Starcraft (nerd-points for me!), swedish, english, maths, psychology (perhaps)
