About Me

CURRENT MISSION

staying young

ABOUT ME

All about me? everything? I don't even remember everything...

I like outdoor activity (hiking, geocaching, climbing, bouldring etc...) unfortunately time and friends not sharing the same interests holds me back. Also doing a lot of photographing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've not hosted much at all in Sweden, mostly surfed in New Zealand back in 2007. Best time in my life!

Interests

I work as an IT-technician but not a full grown nerd just yet. My weekends I spend either bouldring, viking fighting, playing airsoft, hiking or just sitting home eating pizza and watching a good film. Mostly a big mix of everything. What really binds everything together is my intreset in photographing, both still and film.

When I get more time than just a weekend it's mostly spent on a trip to Cologne or at some viking market somewhere. Or hiking in the mountains/alps etc...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: When someone ask me what I listen to I can never give them a straight answer. I like lots of music in many different genres, although I can never recognize a genre today. Easier when there were only rock, pop, folk or classical :)
anyway, a few artists that are played now and then:
John Butler Trio, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Johnny Cash, Blue Man Group, Yann Tiersen, 16 Horse Power, Beth Gibbons/Portishead, Nekromantix, Dick Dale and the Del-tones, Garmarna, Hedningarna, Hoven Droven, Gåte, Amon Amarth, Samael, Therion, Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Bob hund, Nick Cave, Rob Zombie, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Lars Winnerbäck, Eddie Vedder, Gotan project, Dave Matthews, Xploding Plastix, Terry Reid, Joy Division, Nina simone, Eva Cassidy, Madrugada, Imperiet, Cornelis Vreeswijk, Thåström, Tom Waits.....

Movies: Into the wild, Good Will hunting, Nightmare before christmas, Boondock Saints, Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain, Lock sock and two smoking barrels, V for Vendetta, Monty python, Family guy, House of thousand corpses....

Books: what, like emails?
Not a big reader. But enjoyed Jon Krakauers book about Christopher Mccandless.
