About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find out what I want to work with.

ABOUT ME

I've been studying a master program in engineering for 5+ years now and will finally graduate this year. Before that I studied human and social sciences for about two years, mainly intellectual history and philosophy. This might seem like total opposites, but hey that's kinda me. A guy with many different sides. I'd be lying if I claimed that I really know something thoroughly, because I feel almost like a beginner in most areas. Maybe I've got a too high criteria for when you can claim that you actually understand something, but I think more people should look at the Dunning-Kruger effect. Usually I just say that I know a few things about a lot :) my goal is to be able to talk with everyone in the world about something that they think is interesting and be able to have a basic understanding of that topic.

Aside from studying I enjoy workout, riding motorcycles, experience culture through books/movies and have swedish fika with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

"To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To meet new people, share stories and save some money for both me and others which instead can be used on food, to experience more culture or travel further.

Interests

I like open minded discussions about almost anything. One of my favorite things is to talk with people who are cunning in fields that I'm not so I can ask them a flow of question. So if you think you can add to, or maybe even change my current knowledge or opinions, lets have a chat :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Tokyo, Japan, for one year.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Bed clothes, towels and some minor disposables. I also have a motorcycle so during the summer I could maybe take you on a ride around Uppsala if you want.

I can host when I'm not too busy with other things and then for a few nights.
