About Me

I'm an eccentric young Swede. I think the best way to get a feeling for how I am is to talk to me. But in short - I love exploring and learning new things: I'm eager to find out what life has to offer. A perfect day for me is spent on a vantage point with friends, looking out over a beautiful landscape or city talking about whatever excites people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being a couch enthusiast, I think having a community where one can share and experience new couch culture is truly a beautiful thing. I also love having ways to give back to the community in any way that I can. Being a student I rarely have a lot of money, so this is a great way for me to be able to pay it forward, and at the same time get to know awesome people and explore dashing divans.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of electronic music, and love exploring new tracks and genres. Trip Hop, anything ambient, jazz inspired music... I'll just leave my soundcloud account here if anyone is actually interested. Always looking for tips on new music.

It's always hard to pick favourites, but some at least deserve to be mentioned - Synechdoche New York, Cidade de Deus, anything Wes Anderson, Inside Llewyn Davis, Requiem for a Dream, The Lord of the Rings, Revanche, Her, anything Hayao Miyazaki, among others. In general I enjoy watching foreign movies a lot.

Books... 1984 and Brave New World (woo, dystopian litterature!), various comic books (Watchmen, Sandman, Batman: The Killing Joke, et c), Kafka, Dostojevskij... classics and short stories mostly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to CERN and seen the amazingly enormous particle accelerator in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - Swedish curse words, good recipe for authentic Swedish kladdkaka (mud cake) or köttbullar (meat balls), piano, game theory, physics... and I probably maybe know some more things that I've picked up along my lifetime.

Learn - ANYTHING

Share - a good laugh, stories, discussions
