CURRENT MISSION

Learning to see my place in the cosmos.

ABOUT ME

It's hard enough to describe another person, let alone myself. I guess I am what people would call a Hippie. I have always been trying to avoid it, since I was raised by a bunch of hippies as a kid, but so far this seems to have failed. I am travelling, I do wear junk like beads and bands around my one hand, I do have long hair and I do volunteer for Greenpeace. But there is more to me than just that.

PHILOSOPHY

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do what I can back in Sweden, my couch is always open for people who think there's more to Stockholm than shallow conversations in expensive Swedish hostel bars about which countries they've "done yet".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've mostly hosted people, but it often leads to house-parties, printing t-shirts and Bob Dylan concerts.
All experiences I've had have been awesome.

Interests

I can say that I have yet to find something that doesn't on some level interest me, but everyone hates that answer, so I'll go with my main interests, designing computer games, experiencing cultures, boxing, environmentalism and getting to know strange new facts and people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Apocalypse now, Bob Dylan, 1984

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed the pacific ocean on a sailboat from the Philippines to New Zealand and back to Fiji. Meeting the cultures of the pacific islands taught me the humbling lesson that our entire experience of life is subjective.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach yoga, acro-balance, gardening, origami, making oil lanterns, cooking, guitar, video game design, photography, screen printing t-shirts and a new way to tie your shoelaces.

I'd like to learn how to cook more dishes, paint and do hand-stands, I would love to learn more languages!
