About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world - meet new people and communicate in different laguages.

ABOUT ME

Hello I am a 31-year-old man living in Gothenburg. I was born in Borås, but my parents made a wise decision to move to Gothenburg when I was only 14 months old. I have an older brother.After high school I took some courses at the Technical University in Gothenburg (Chalmers). In January 2004 I started my medical studies here in Gothenburg. In the end of May 2009 I completed my studies. From June 2009 to January 2010 I was working as an assistant doctor, at a primary health care centre in Gothenburg. From February 2010 to August 2011 I have been working in Norway in Fredrikstad and Halden which are to small cities in the south-east part of Norway. In August 2011 I moved back from Norway to Gothenburg, again working at primary health care centers. At det moment I am doing my residence in dermatology.

PHILOSOPHY

Every day is important.
Sharing happiness is the most beautiful thing we can do.
Striving towards happiness.
Qui vivra verra.
Life is nothing but an iteration of moments, let's seize as many as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If possible I let couch-surfers stay at my place. Of course I give priority to Verified Members and members with a !!!!COMPLETE profile!!!! Furthermore it is very much appreciated if You contact me a couple of weeks before your planned stay and if possible SPECIFY your arrival and departure date. Both the week day AND the actual dates.

However PLEASE see on my profile on the left hand side weather I am available. As soon as I get a nice CS-request or if I am occupied by other reasons I add this to my profile so everybody knows that I am busy.

I recommend places to see in Gothenburg and will be happy to guide around new guests (if I am available).
