About Me
ABOUT ME
People tell me I'm easy going, laid-back and funny/fun. I like long conversations over a few beers or wines, share ideas and figuring the world out. I try to get as much life-experience as I can: everything is an experience worth having at least once, unless its something really bad or really stupid.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hosted at least 50 times.
Interests
Traveling, geography, languages, architecture, booze.
Learning - I've been told that I try to know something about everything. Wikipedia is my best friend!
Languages - I love the concept of language and am considering studying linguistics.
Music - trying to figure out how music 'works'. I'm into quite a variety of genres, from punk/industrial to trip-hop to salsa and Columbian pop. Love playing instruments too, guitar drums and keyboards mostly.
Cooking I love to cook, although sometimes it gets a bit too creative for its own good.
Snowboarding. Actually, snow in general!

Music, Movies, and Books
I don't read a lot of books, and when i do, they are non-fiction about history or geography or pop-culture.
Music: most of it! Punk, rock, industrial, prog, metal, classic rock, trip-hop, ambient, electronica, salsa, latin-pop.
Movies: anything by Edgar Wright, Chris Nolan or David Fincher.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Can't pick just one... Climbing Mt Ruapehu in New Zealand was the most satifying day of my life, a midnight camel ride through the Sahara desert to sleep at a nomad camp in an oasis in Morroco, skinny dipping around Stockholm on the way home from parties...
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm a considerate, respectful and flexible person. If you're the type of person who like to share experiences and ideas over a beer or five, we'll get along great. Otherwise, if you have things on or just don't want to spend time together, I will stay out of your way and make sure to tidy up after myself.
