About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never be afraid to make a fool out of yourself

ABOUT ME

If you want to get to know me you should really check out my flickr! http://www.flickr.com/photos/bjoernfan

I'm a relaxed guy who always has his eyes peeled looking for good photos. I drink a lot of alcohol, I'm a terrible singer, and I love an adventure.

I'm pretty geeky in general (the most interesting things are almost always in the details) and the British show QI is definitely one of my favorite shows!

I got this profile in kind of a hurry, and even if I don't really have any friends and "couch experience" on my profile, it's not my first time surfing, it's just my first time not piggy backing on somebody else in my gang!

I can provide references -- It's just kind of hard to write reviews for places you've stayed when you're on the road. I think you can relate to that. :)

I've been in a lot of capitals in Europe (traintrip 2010), India 2011, Mexico 2011, USA 2011 + 2013, Italy 2011.

I don't smoke (but I don't mind if you do). In the same way, I'm a vegetarian, but I don't mind if you eat meat, as long as you don't blow it in my face. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Always try new things, seek knowledge, be a nice guy. Take things as they come, don't worry if worrying doesn't help. Hope for the best, be prepared for the worst (doesn't sound as melodramatic in swedish ;))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Friends of mine (profile Dyvinge) have hosted a lot of couchsurfers that I have had the pleasure to meet. My first CS experiences were in 2009 when me and five friends from the Dyvinge gang did a three week train trip through a lot of places in Europe.

Interests

Computers (Linux), photography, scifi, cooking (oh how I love cooking!), gardening, reading.

Music, Movies, and Books

Sånger från andra våningen (really depressing Swedish movie), Fight Club (the book is crazy good), Terry Pratchett (I'm on audiobook 20 of 36 of his Discworld series), Douglas Adams, Iain M Banks, Margaret Atwood, Douglas Coupland(!), Andrew Kaufman. Mike Judge (Office Space/Idiocracy), Scott Adams (Dilbert).

I listen to everything from black metal to nerdcore and whatever blippity ploppity techno ballare I can get my ears on!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've smoked weed (nothing I do often) with a Mexican Federale.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach you photography, if you want me to! Can you teach me how to sing? I'm no good at it, but I know I have potential. :)
