ABOUT ME
As a Swede I have grown up under very good conditions, but without being spoilt (which I think is important). I have been studying in Sweden from 6 to 24 years of age and now I am an engineer with hopes of a very liberal life where I have the guts to do what I think would be fun and developing rather than safe and easy.
I work very hard, but always for social gain, personal development or food. Never for money. Maybe that will have to change a bit now when I am not a student anymore though.
I love sports and often try the limits of my body in various competitions. Mostly running/biking/orienteering.
PHILOSOPHY
Always try to look outside the box, and the sky is not the limit. Perspective is eveything.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
So far I have only surfed together with a friend without even having an account and now I am eager to raise my karma by hosting back!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been on many bicycle trips (~10 000 km). During about 1500 of these kilometers I have been couchsurfing together with a friend. Mainly in Germany, but also Czech Republic, Belgium and the Netherlands. It has always been amazing visits.

Teach, Learn, Share
I know a lot about getting along on light packing and low level vehicles.
I am very interested in science and know a lot about how the world works physically.
