About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Im walking for world peace, inner peace and outer peace. Im walking from Varberg Sweden to Istanbull. Along the way I meet people, talk about peace, peaceful activities like cocking bio vegan peace food.
Now when its vinter I need to trust and relie on friendly people to stay during the nights to come. I also offer to cook inspiering delicious bio peace food for everyone I stay at.

ABOUT ME
To make my life Story in short im raised in a very safe and protected place of sweden. My mother have lerned me the most important Qualities of a Kind and loving heart, I dident understood this untill I went burnd out and was forced to search from within and out. I came across personal development material in differnt forms and Buddhist teachings which inspired me a lot. I left my Engineering carrier in aerospace and started to teach and lern about meditation and mindfulness in Gothenburg. Today my lifestory teached me that life is short and to make the world a better place from inside out with causes for world peace is the best thing I ever can invest my time in.

Im a happy guy who like to live out life each day, discover new experiences and natural places, live in the present as much as I can. When meeting people they describe me as a very friendly and accommodating person, social and easygoing. I’m an pretty flexible person who fit into the most kind of situations and environments.
I live in my multicultural beautiful city of Gothenburg, Sweden, her I recently start to work as a research engineer. However my current personal life goal is to master happiness somehow.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to se in the world.
I believe there’s a genius in every one of us just waiting to be lit.
Make each day your masterpiece.
I believe in peace, love, happiness and humour, and to serve others in helpful ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im new to couchsurfing and I don’t have place for people to stay at the moment. But Im happy to meet new people who travel through my beautiful town. And in the end of November I will move to a larger apartment that will give more room for a surfcouch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not experienced couchsurfing myself yet, but I found the inspiration when I lived far up the Northern Sweden, Kiruna, where a good friend of mine hosted a nice surfing person. I hope to get some experience I can find a friendly host on the way to Lisabon next week.

Interests

Besides meeting new people and friends, my biggest interest has always been engines and propulsion mechanisms. But through time different interest also change direction. At the current my deep passion are personal development and the art of thinking and happiness. I always enjoy sports and exercise, and if it’s possible to combine with meeting people its wonderful. I really enjoy food and cooking, especially fruits, vegetables and healthy food overall.
Some other various interests of mine; swimming, playing squash, motorcycles, technology, meditation, philosophy, movies, music, playing the harmonica and guitar.
