About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn, to take things in, about myself and others and the world.

ABOUT ME

Hello there! Im a young swedish lad with alot of wants, but few needs :) I like meeting new people, music, traveling (duh), doing new things and practicing my different languages.

I studied social science with a language perspective and my main language, apart from swedish and english, is spanish.

I am couchsurfing because it gives travelling a new edge, a more realistic view on a country, and often an amazing experiece with new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live and learn" is a good philosophy as any. Meet new people, learn new things, do cool stuff, have fun, do boring stuff, do your duty :P

as long as you're trying new things and developng as a person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will participate by traveling as much as I can and hopefully I will be able to host whenever I am asked :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was in Alicante, Spain in 2011. There, I made lots of friends and had a really nice experience.

Also, three different people in three different countries hosted me and my friends in my trip around Europe in 2012.

I've hosted a few people at my parents house, and that was also amazing to meet them.

Interests

Im interested in most things, yeah its a stupid answer, but seriously, when you are surfing/on vacation, anything and everything you do becomes really funny and great. Especially outdoor activities, like walking, cycling, climbing, that sort of thing. But also learning about history, culture, traditions, landmarks are really interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is an organisation called CISV, it is similiar to CS, but it is for children, you should look it up in your hometown :)

Anyway, this organisation has given me several of the best days of my life, when I was younger.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy both teaching people and learning more about playing the guitar, that is always fun. And speaking languages- I could teach you some Swedish, not that I would know what you'd use it for.

I could probably teach you a thing or two how to tune up your computer.
