Hi! Name's Eric, a not so ordinary ordinary guy from Sweden.

WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE

I'm currently working as a substitute teacher, not the most flashy vocation but it does give me access to an unlimited supply of hot chocolate (water of life)

I'M REALLY GOOD AT

I'm really good at inner monolouges

I'm good at positive thinking, ain't nothing that can break my auro pf positivity and my "It will work out" mentality.

I'm good at being bad at coming up with things I'm good at...but believe me I'm good at some things, I have the goodest things, the biggliest things. No one is as good as I, tremendously good.

I do a great Donald trump impression

SOME THINGS I COULD NEVER DO WITHOUT

The smell of books and movie boxes
Nature
Cats
A sense of humor
Adventure
My trusty (way to expensive) hiking boots
A spark of madness
Cheese

I SPEND A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT

How to conquer the world
Planning my future travels and adventures
My place in the universe
What I should write in my profile description
Cats

ON A TYPICAL FRIDAY NIGHT

I'll either spend my evening with a gripping book in my hand or a great movie playing on netflix

I might play boardgames alongside family and friends in to the small hours of the night.

Maybe I'll go for a midnight run, with the wolves and squirrels as my only company, the moon lighting up the path before my feet.

Visiting a local pub with some friends, enjoying a glass of wine or a pint of Guiness is also a popular option.

If I'm feeling creative I might grab pen and keyboard, and try to get some writing done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I thought it was a brilliant concept, and cause I've heard so much good about this community.

I love encountering new people from different cultures and places that are different than my own.

Crashing at some fellas couch is far more interesting and fun than taking in at a hotel etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed the highest mountain in Sweden last summer, the view from the peak...it was indescribable.
Such a moment of euphoria and awe.

I'll give you a run for your money in a game of badminton.
