ABOUT ME
I'm curious and I like to learn. I really mean that! I'm a bit of a nomad, for better or worse it seems I can't be in one place for too long. By now I've come to accept this and try to make the best out of it by using this drive/unrest/obsession in a productive way to get some photography done.
I'm fascinated by human culture and cultural expressions, which is probably why I do art, though I also like photography and cameras and all of that. I can get way more complicated about my relationship to photography, but this is probably not the place. If we meet maybe I will! You're welcome to have a look at my homepage if you're curious about what I do (emilandersson.net.)
Apart from this I also like to read, to walk, to grow tomatoes, to pick mushrooms, to look at cities and people and their things. I like big cities and the forest. When it's overcast, I like the green of those pine look-a-like trees people have in their gardens. I love food, but I don't eat meat. I have several dimensions!
PHILOSOPHY
Don't just talk about doing stuff, do it. (I know it's Nike, but I guess they must be right then...)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm currently not hosting, since I'm out travelling and my tent is for only one person.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've hosted some, which has been a very good experience. I've surfed with quite a few great people, and it's an unbeatable way to get an insight into things in the area, like how industrial tomato growing is done in southern Spain and that kind of stuff.
