About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have just started a long, long journey as a digital nomad. I want to practice my skills as a soul trainer. And i am writing a love novel about it as well.

ABOUT ME

I am a priest in the Swedish lutheran church. I have not been employed by the church since 1996. I am more of a free spirt. I guess I can bring in some fresh thoughts in the churches - in they want. People bulided the churches. It belongs to the people. But now lesser and lesser people attend the churches. Perhaps it is time to start a new movement: "RECLAIM peoples temples, and in the western world they are called CHURCHES!" I am very young at heart. I love to move my body! Training in all dimensions. Love sailing, boating, walking, talking, writing. Father of five almost grown up sons.

PHILOSOPHY

God is love!
Love everyone - start with Yourself!
Let Your soul lead You!
Serve others!
Play and enjoy!
Be childish in Your adulthood!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not only in for having a place to stay. I want to meet and get to know You. If You let me sleep in Your house I will try to attend Your soul as much as You feel need for. In highs and lows, in the light and in the dark.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Zero - so far!

I have walked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain twice. I am used to sleep with foreign people of all nations, shapes and forms. My demands for comfort or any standards is wery low. I bring my own sleeping bag if You don't have a proper bed and sheets.
