About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

My name is Jens, I live in an apartment on Kungsholmen in central Stockholm. It's a beautiful neighborhood, close to parks and water.
I work as a programmer and I love learning new stuff and try to always have some hobby projects going.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the now, accepting what you can't change and it'll be so much easier to stay happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host people as often as I can and I hope to get to do some surfing myself asap :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CS experiences this far have been a wonderful every time! Every new meeting makes you grow as a person and leaves a permanent trace in the form of an (hopefully) everlasting memory :)

Interests

I love dancing, most of all to fast-paced psy-trance, full-on and goa and I love the forest parties that pop up everywhere in the summer. Other interests are normal stuff like hanging out with friends in parks, enjoying a nice day out in the nature and drinking good beer.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is electronic, mainly psytrance and ambient but I do like hip-hop and jazz as well.
Favorite books are Tove Janssons books about the moomins!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One very cherished memory is from the psytrance festival Transahara out in the Moroccan desert. Lying on the sand dunes with the music flowing through you while gazing up on the stars is a feeling I'll never forget!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I'm pretty tech-savvy, so I can work my way with lots of different technical stuff. I'm also a decent juggler, I love to paint (but not very talanted, just for the fun of it!) and I've played quite a lot of music games like Pop'n Music and Dance Dance Revolution throughout my days ;)

I played the cello for many years when I was younger and I've got a fascination for all kinds of musical instruments - I'd love to learn to play any kind of instruments you have lying around!
