About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Always do what you love and you will meet lovely people :)

ABOUT ME

Born in the mountains and forest, raised in a small village in the middle of Sweden. I have since gone out on an adventure called life. I did my high school away from home and i have studied in three countries. Most of the travel i do, i do through the university in the form of field trips (you'd be surprised how much a marine biologist and a geologist can travel in the course of their education).
I'm a fairly quiet person but I like having things to do. I enjoy meeting new people and getting some insight. I'm a reasonably open minded guy and consider the whole world to be my home rather than just the country i'm born in.

PHILOSOPHY

This is a really hard question :S
Live your life as much as you can, work hard but don't forget to slow down, breathe and take in the world. Nature and city (Though i personally prefer the nature).

Always do what you love and you will always meet people to love :)

Life is a lesson. Don't ever stop learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couchsurfing but have heard a lot of good things....so here i am :)

Interests

Wow, interests....to me the difficulty is to narrow down the interests into something more manageable. I do however spend some spare time to my exercising (I love running) and freediving. I also enjoy reading and drawing, yoga and don't forget about cooking, i'm a big fan of food and love trying new things :) I have also recently started learning to play the violin.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to most things when it comes to music (and i really mean most music). I haven't started appreciating styles like death metal yet; however, maybe someone sometime will change this!
My favourites however are however the violin and something...tranquil.

When it comes to books i read the not so average read. Currently following the authors Kate Mosse (not the model Kate Moss), Matthew Reilly, David Gibbins and Stephen Hawking (Oh yeah, you should read his books ;) ). Don't forget about the random philosophical or fact based book.

Movies.....same thing there, i like a variety of movies, educational and....not so educational. All up to my mood. I do say though, the works and works with contribution by Tim Burton are always a favourite :)
