About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making sure what I do means something to me, and hopefully helping those around me in the process.

ABOUT ME

I am a very spontaneous and restless person, and new discoveries is my greatest passion in life, along with music in all its forms.
Currently I am living in my backpack, travelling with my Djembe, working as a freelancer and playing music on the streets(or anywhere else) wherever I can.
Mostly I have very little of a plan and try to let circumstances lead me to where I am supposed to end up. Letting my mindset steer me through small choices gives me much more pleasure than planning ahead. Also, I am really bad at it, and often feel that scouting my goal in advance blinds me from seeing the most interesting things there.
I play the drums, some piano, a little guitar, and produce electronic music in various styles.

PHILOSOPHY

If you are doing something repeatedly, and you wouldn't do it if you knew your life was ending soon, then do something else.

Always do your best to not put others in bad situations. The effort needed is usually very small but usually yields strong positive ripple effects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I currently don't actually have a static home, I can't do much hosting.
Previously I hosted some people at my place up north in Sweden, and I have also been hosting outside of the CS comunity. I try using CS as much as I can when travelling, and find the CS experiences are often what makes the travels memorable.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been travelling around europe a lot, and had great experiences using CS during one of my trips in Ukraine.I was also visiting Mexico and the same applies.
