About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work, Study, Work, Study...

ABOUT ME

From south Sweden, love to ski, love to travel and love to meet new people.
I've traveled throughout Asia, Europe and North America and lived in Austria, Denmark, Spain and Canada in the past. Now I live in Lund, Sweden where I work at an IT company.
Love to go to European dance parties, particularily in The Netherlands and Northern Germany. Check q-dance.nl for the ones primarily go to.

PHILOSOPHY

"Only dead fish follows the stream"
"I'd rather regret what I did than what I didn't do"
"Noone looks back in their life and remember the night they got plenty of sleep"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I have a couch, I'll offer it, and even if I don't have one, I'll gladly meet up for a chat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great! It's a fun thing to do, and I can really recommend it!

Interests

I love to travel all over the world, meeting new cultures.
Also love to dance on all night festivals in northern Europe.
Interested in IT as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't read that many books, but "Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy" is a good one.
But I do watch a lot of movies, preferably Thriller, Sci-Fi and Action.
Fight Club, The Usual Suspects etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skiing in powder snow with a depth to your chest.
Crossed USA/Canada coast to coast by car.
Crossed Russia coast to coast by train.
Skied in Shanghai, indoors.
Survived 72 hours without food during my military service.
Been raving on the Great Wall, in China.
In Iceland, I hitchhiked 200 km to a glacier, hiked up, skied down, hitchhiked further away to a church in Stykkisholmur, then hitchhiked all the way back.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always interest in learning new languages and learning new abilities.
As I've been living abroad for some time it doesn't really concern me to try to learn the native language, as it tells a lot of the people and the culture.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Canada, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Viet Nam
