About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just trying to stay alive surfing this amazing wave of creativity, music, words and people!

ABOUT ME

Right now I'm busy busy! Studying to become a journalist in the week, playing violin and singing in different bands and different countries in the weekends, so will probably not host anyone the coming months, but this winter I might be able to show you this beautiful island I live on.

I live in a house on an island outside Gothenburg with 5 other random wierdoes.
I used to study music, folk and world music to be exact, now I've moved on to journalism since I felt I wanted something other then the music as only inspiration and income.
I play in four bands and try to play on The street as often as I can.

I find that spending my time in the nature, playing music and dancing together with friends, eating homegrown food and drinking homemade wine, plus some herb medicine when needed keeps me healthy and happy.

I love to show this beautiful nature to people visiting, it's worth the trip. (No supermarkets around, but you might be able to find your food in the vegtablegarden or the forest depending on the season)

PHILOSOPHY

Get rid of all your shame and fear, the only way to be able to feel proud over yourself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The world is taking great care of me, and I am trying to find more ways to return the favour.
I'm couchsurfing as well as offering a couch because of my love to this world and all the people I've met.
I believe CS among other actions and in the long term could "make love not war". And as we start to acknowledge our prejudices and respect our lack of understanding for what's strange, we can begin to see every living being for what it really is.

Interests

Music, music and more of beautiful music! Once I start playing you better have something great to offer to make me stop.
Traveling, nature, animals, cultures, growing my own food and making my own wine, people, politics, philosophy, boardgames, live, die...
Canoing, skiing, swimming, bicycling, trecking, sailing, being.
Alternative medicin, herbs, healing, whatever the nature can do to make us feel good, as if it's not enough just having it near.
