About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Out sailing

ABOUT ME

We're out sailing for a year, going down to the Canaries and Marocco and back up to Sweden again. Good times.

PHILOSOPHY

Recognize luck when you see it and use it as much as you can. I don't really get the whole karma thing but just be good to people and thankful and things will work out just fine, if not you at least probably had a good time anyway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only good so far, people on this site are really great and I've never heard of anyone having a bad experience. It's a fuckin-A way to travel and meet people!

Interests

Travel (didn't see that coming huh?), sailing, snowboard, watch movies, play football with friends that are as bad as me at it, read, write, make stuff, bake cookies, bake cake, eat cookies, eat cake, sit around and talk about nothing, see concerts, get drunk in the middle of the day just because you can, walk around, camp, clean my apartment, drink coffee, play banjo
