About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to unravel the secrets of human nature! in all parts of the world :D

ABOUT ME

Well im really open so it's not that difficult. I'm very openminded so I might get to know you quite a bit too ;) My passion for life and people has taken me to reaaallly weird places... haha I've been a farmer in finland, a garbage collector in norway.. dancegroup orgnizer in russia... i always end up in the most absurd situations and i LOVE IT =) and it always gets me sidetracked from my pooor studies hahaha but i dont mind, I'm like designed to lead projects.. to drive my ideas into reality, wow that gives me such a rush of LIFE =)
I think a lot about stuff, deep stuff about life. Right now I am really amazed at some incidents where i was ruthlessly honest and it turned out totally crazy! I'm hooked on being totally frank and honest now haha so watch out ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Here is three of the principles i'm currently trying to discover:

1. No hesitation: No fear, be spontaneous, approach people, be friendly, open, be a GIVER! Hesitation is a disease! no it's like one of the symptoms of the disease called FEAR. Override it, no hesitation!

2. No discrimination. Don't judge people beforehand, and when you do start judging be careful and dont exclude and discriminate. Be fair. You have no clue what's behind the wall you build with your judgements. Lower the barriers of prejudice and start meeting people from worlds you had no clue even existed.

3. Own your self: dont be such a victim.. nobody can ever inject anger or sadness into your body or soul. You're causing all of that. Someone else can trigger it, someone can throw dirt on you. But if you after 10 years still are wearing the stain, that's not him, it's YOU! Own your thoughts, your emotions, your actions! dont be a slave of them, let'm be what they are, and despite them, make the right CHOICE! Follow what is right, not random thoughts and emotion!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This CS2 thing is what i've always looked for. When i travel i dont care about "seeing everything". I hate bumming around with tourists. I want to hang out with the locals, i want to learn the language, see the villages and cities behind the scene!! That's what i've always done on my own. And this network is dedicated to exactly that! If you come to Gothenburg in Sweden I'll hook you up with all the coolest, most social and incredible people in the city, when you're under my wings you will not remeber the places we go to, but the warmth, fun and sharing you have with your newly found friends.

Interests

I'm going to pick out items that fascinate me RIGHT NOW (i'll be updating this):

- Music: Muse (woow what a vocalist, truly progressive rock... this band really gets you hooked!)

- Movie: Next with Nicolas Cage was the last movie I saw in the movies that was good! I liked the whole concept of if you look at the future it changes.. and that changes everything!

- TV: Nip/Tuck is soo cool, I dont get hooked on these series.. but this one woooow this is something else ;)

- Books: Love, Power and Justice by William Hatcher. Wow what a life-changing book! A mathematician talking touching on ethics and authentic morality and proves how so many things that society considers moral in essence is immoral! Inspiring book!

Spiritual: I took this 10 day Vipassana course, sort of a buddhist meditation training. If you want self-mastery, get into touch with your body on a new level, calm the inner turbulence in your mind and get a clearer insight into yourself this is the real deal.
