About Me

Hi there!

I'm Swedish and Brazilian. I'm a business economist and a performing arts manager. I climb and I dance. I'm social and caring. Just like anyone, I'm many things - and all that I am together with all that you are would probably make for a fun time, good laughs and maybe even some cool adventures. This is what couchsurfing has been for me! And I've made many of my best international friends here.

Currently I'm finishing my studies by doing internship at a very successful contemporary circus in Brisbane, where I'll be from february until may of 2019.

I'm always eager to learn and explore together with others. The dances I do are hip hop and lindy hop. I climb as well, still a newbie but getting the hang of it(!). I love both chilling and adventures, but whichever I do I love doing it with friends - both old and fresh of the day.

It's important for me to, as both guest and host, be very respectful and sympathetic and always bring in warm and easygoing energy.

Unexpected asset: Big beautiful hair.

Hope we see eachother soon!
//Erik

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: There's favourites in all kinds of music for me.

Movies: "Cloud Atlas" and "Big fish".

Books: "Before I forget" and "7 Habits of highly effective people".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Produced a wonderful musical in Uppsala, Sweden.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a very curious, positive och hungry nature for new knowledge, skills and abilities - whatever they are!

I'd also love to share and teach whatever I know (listed below).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some of the things I can offer as a guest and/or new friend is to teach you how to do some circus-tricks like juggling and acrobatics. Elsewise I can also show different couple-dance steps from for example Lindy Hop, Swing, Waltz, Bugg and Salsa. I dance streetdance as well, which I'd love to share.

I have alot to give considering both the Brazilian and Swedish culture. Make traditional drinks and food from both places, teach some of the language and give the best tips for future trips!

Other interests are: Longboard, surf, saxophone, musicals, culture-events, festivals, persian carpets, beers, alcohol-knowledge, clubing, poker, gaming, climbing, hiking, skiing/snowboarding and food.
